What to call the tools

Cross-development tools in the Cygnus Developer's Kit are normally installed with names that reflect the target machine, so that you can install more than one set of tools in the same binary directory.

The target name, constructed with the --target option to configure, is used as a prefix to the program name. For example, the compiler (called simply gcc in native configurations) is called by one of these names for SPARClite cross-development, depending on which configuration you have installed:

sparclite-aout-gcc
sparclite-coff-gcc

Likewise, the SPARClite-configured GDB is called by the name:

sparclite-gdb

For DOS-hosted toolchains, the tools are simply called by their standard names, e.g., gcc, gdb, etc.
