Hi,

Sorry if this is not the most appropriate group, but I did not
manage to find any group discussing GAS or Binutils.

I want to port GAS as well as the Binutils package to some nice
Microcontrollers I regularly work with, as 16C5x (and all other controllers
in that family) as well as ST6 ST9 and some Toshiba controllers,
but I do have one problem:
I need some manual describing the porting process for doing this, and
the BFD documentation (although the Binutils package is GREAT) I
find quite hard to read and understand :-(

Does it exist any kind of porting manual, describing the various steps
involved in implementing a new architecture, or am I lforced to try some
trial and error, reading the BFDlib documentation and reading source code.
(I do belive I know enough for implementing libopcodes by reading some
sources, but there are many internal variables in some of the structures
passed to the main function for each processor that is not documented very well
I belive, or do not seem to be referenced at all ?
Then there is the biggie: libbfd ! I have no clue at all what is required
in this lib :-(
)

Are there any present plans for writing such a porting manual ?
If there would be some such manual that at least I could read and
understand, I would try to implement support for a lot of the
microcontrollers I work with.

yrs sincerely,
