They have more one one BSP for one CPU. If you use binutils 2.9.1.0.2x, it is in there. Here is the whole ChangeLog: Wed Sep 16 07:32:44 1998 H.J. Lu (hjl@gnu.org) * ld.h (args_type): Add one field, multilib_dir. * ldfile.c (ldfile_add_library_path): Add one argument, append. * ldfile.h (ldfile_add_library_path): Likewise. * ldgram.y: Calling ldfile_add_library_path with one more argument, true. * ldmain.c: Likewise. * lexsup.c: Likewise. * ldmain.c (check_for_scripts_dir): Add one argument, append. (main): Initialize command_line.multilib_dir to NULL. (set_scripts_dir): If command_line.multilib_dir is not NULL, prepend it to search path. * lexsup.c (OPTION_MULTILIB_DIR): New. (parse_args): Handle OPTION_MULTILIB_DIR. * emultempl/elf32.em (gld${EMULATION_NAME}_get_script): If command_line.multilib_dir != NULL, get linker scripts from files. It may be useful to solve your problem. -- H.J. Lu (hjl@gnu.org)
