Hi,
I downloaded scripts to build ppc 970 biarch toolchain from
ftp://ftp.linuxppc64.org/pub/people/janis. I noticed that only
binutils uses default target (--target) to be powerpc-linux where as
gcc,glibc uses powerpc64-linux. Is there any reason for that? BTW.
binutils has --enable-targets=powerpc64-linux in its configure command

I was wondering why it isn't --target=powerpc64-linux
--enable-targets=powerpc-linux?

Thanks

No - it sounds like a bug.

Perhaps you should contact the author(s) of the scripts and ask them why 
they chose to configure the binutils this way.

Cheers
