Re: binutils upgradation


Hi Dheeru,

Oh absolutely.  Supporting a new architecture involves a lot of work
in binutils.  You need to add a new target to support your
architecture, complete with files in the opcodes/ directory to support
the assembly and disassembly of instructions, as well as files in
gas/config/ to tune GAS for your target and in bfd/ to support linking
together files for your target.

You may also want to create a simulator and/or port GDB to work with
your new architecture.

Cheers
        Nick
