# binutils/cfg - Build settings for "binutils"

#---------------------------------------------------------------------

[technotes]

1. Presently, "binutils" should be built using "clang".

Explanation: If "binutils" 2.42 or 2.44 is built  using "gcc" 14,  the
resulting "ld" is prone to crashes. Building the package using "clang"
corrects the problem.
