1. The GNU binutils and gcc source code This is the GNU toolchain source code that can be used to produce the GNU compilers, assembler, linker, and binary utilities. It is used by the different cross-compiler packages so that this source code does not need to be duplicated in all of them. You might also use this package to compile your own version of the toolchain if you need some special compile-time options applied. This package also contains two scripts, tpkg-make and tpkg-update, to automatically create and update crosscompiler-packages for any target architecture supported upstream. They are described in /usr/share/doc/toolchain-source/README. From Debian 3.0r0 APT
