Hi!
I am presently planning to port binutils (an then GCC) to the MCS-51
target since many (old and recent) microcontrollers are using it.
I have found old messages describing how to port binutils but I want to
be sure that the information is up to date. Should I follow this order :
BFD -> opcode -> gas -> ld ?
Which object format should I choose ? COFF or ELF ? I tend to use ELF
because the AVR port use it, but I have no other good reasons...
Regards,
Stéphane Brunet
P.S. : I was very surprised when I first read the source code : this is
the first time that I see a complete K&R-written C project! Perhaps am I
too young!
