## Description

    GNU Binutils collection, configured for the arm-elf target.
      * 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 from
        archives.
      * c++filt - Filter to demangle encoded C++ symbols.
      * gprof - Displays profiling information.
      * nlmconv - Converts object code into an NLM.
      * 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.

    Most of these programs use BFD, the Binary File Descriptor library, to
    do low-level manipulation. Many of them also use the opcodes library
    to assemble and disassemble machine instructions.
