binutils for ppc

I do corssdevelopment work and would like to have version of binutils for ppc. I am especially interested in nm and objdump since the rest of the crossdevelopement tools are installed on our servers.

Is there any way to get nm and objdump read ppc binaries. I compiled binutils with multitarget flag but binutils-config does not seem to support ppc architecture

I installed a second version of binutils by using the sources and doing the usual ./configure, make, make install

for ppc support see binutils/README or do
./configure --enable-targets=all
make
make install

(will compile a while and is a little bloated :twisted:

)

and you will have a /usr/local/bin binutils installation

This may sound strange but I used binutils-config to set arch to mips as far as I remember (this was a month ago or so) and nm works with ppc images now without problems. I also tried objdump and it seems to work eve though I have to admit that I have not look at the output very closely.
