+SUMMARY="Assembler, linker and binary tools for target ${targetMachineTriple}"
+DESCRIPTION="The GNU Binutils are a collection of binary tools.
+
+The main ones are:
+- ld - the GNU linker.
+- as - the GNU assembler.
+
+But they also include:
+- addr2line - converts addresses into filenames and line numbers.
+- ar - a utility for creating, modifying and extracting of archives.
+- c++filt - filter to demangle encoded C++ symbols.
+- nm - lists symbols from object files.
+- objcopy - copys and translates object files.
+- objdump - displays information from object files.
+- ranlib - generates an index to the contents of an archive.
+- readelf - displays information from any ELF format object file.
+- size - lists the section sizes of an object or archive file.
+- strings - lists printable strings from files.
+- strip - discards symbols.
+
+The tools of this package can be used for cross-builds to \
+$effectiveTargetMachineTriple."
