Hi,
I downloaded binutils 2.39 and inspected bfd/config.bfd to generate a list of targets which should cover every cases. i then processed and reformatted the text to make it digestable to the ./configure --target <triplet>.
i found that using various triplets, building binutils fails. It mostly fails at configure part but some of them fail during compilation. There are various error messages like:
* ld does not support target
* This target is no longer supported in gas
here is a list of failing targets:
armb-unknown-freebsd
armb-unknown-linux

here is a repo with more details: https://gitlab.com/tkiraly/binutils
Maybe they are indeed bad triplets, i don't know, but probably bfd/config.bfd is less strict than it should. Anyone any thoughts?
