Just got a copy of binutils from cygwin, and I'm trying to figure out how to install it.
I want to build a version of ld that runs on the PC and deals with elf object files for the x86_64 platform.
What I actually tried was:
./configure --target=amd64
make all-ld
That gave an error message. It looks like something translates "amd64" into "x64_86_pc_none", and then something complains that "x86_64_pc_none" isn't supported.
