========= Binutils Maintainers =========
This is the list of individuals responsible for maintenance and update
of the "binutils" module, which includes the bfd, binutils, include,
gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes subdirectories. The home page for binutils
is http://sources.redhat.com/binutils/ and patches should be sent to
binutils@sources.redhat.com with "[patch]" as part of the subject.
of the GNU Binary Utilities project. This includes the linker (ld),
the assembler (gas), the profiler (gprof), a whole suite of other
programs (binutils) and the libraries that they use (bfd and
opcodes). This project shares a common set of header files with the
GCC and GDB projects (include), so maintainership of those files is
shared amoungst the projects.
Note - patches to the top level configure.in and config.sub scripts
should be sent to config-patches@gnu.org and not to the binutils list.

These are the GNU binutils. These are utilities of use when dealing
with binary files, either object files or executables. These tools
consist of the linker (ld), the assembler (gas), and the profiler
(gprof) each of which have their own sub-directory named after them.
There is also a collection of other binary tools, including the
disassembler (objdump) in this directory. These tools make use of a
pair of libraries (bfd and opcodes) and a common set of header files
(include).
As of version 2.5, the assembler (as) is also included in this package, in
../gas. Assembler-specific notes can be found in ../gas/README.
There are README and NEWS files in most of the program sub-directories
which give more information about those specific programs.
Recent changes are in ./NEWS, ../ld/NEWS, and ../gas/NEWS.
Unpacking and Installation -- quick overview

When you unpack the binutils archive file, you will get a directory
