GNU Binutils

The GNU Binary Utilities, or binutils, are a set of programming tools for creating and managing binary programs, object files, libraries, profile data, and assembly source code. They were originally written by programmers at Cygnus Solutions. The GNU binutils are typically used in conjunction with compilers such as the GNU Compiler Collection (gcc), build tools like make, and the GNU Debugger (gdb). Through the use of the Binary File Descriptor library (libbfd), most tools support the various object file formats supported by libbfd.
