If you have a cross-development tape, the label also indicates the target for that configuration. The pattern for target names is
architecture[-vendor]-objfmt
Target names differ slightly from host names in that the last variable indicates the object format rather than the operating system, and the second variable is often left out (this practice is becoming obsolete; in the future, all configuration names will be made up of three parts).
In cross-development configurations, each tool in the Developer's Kit is installed with the configured name of the target as a prefix. For example, if the C compiler is configured to generate COFF format code for the Motorola 680x0 family, the compiler is installed as `m68k-coff-gcc'.
Warning: configure
can represent a very large number of
target name combinations of architecture, vendor, and object format.
There is by no means support for all possible combinations!
This is a list of some of the more common targets supported by Cygnus Support. (Not all targets are supported on every host!) The list is not exhaustive; see section `Overview' in Release Notes, for an up-to-date matrix which shows the host/target combinations supported by Cygnus. Also, see the manual section `Embed with GNU' in Embedded Systems Programming.
