binutils: Selecting the Target System

 
 17 Selecting the Target System
 ******************************
 
 You can specify two aspects of the target system to the GNU binary file
 utilities, each in several ways:
 
    * the target
 
    * the architecture
 
    In the following summaries, the lists of ways to specify values are
 in order of decreasing precedence.  The ways listed first override those
 listed later.
 
    The commands to list valid values only list the values for which the
 programs you are running were configured.  If they were configured with
 '--enable-targets=all', the commands list most of the available values,
 but a few are left out; not all targets can be configured in at once
 because some of them can only be configured "native" (on hosts with the
 same type as the target system).
