Cross-development utilities: ar, as, gasp, gprof, ld, nm, objcopy,
objdump, ranlib, size, strings, strip. These utilities are needed
whenever you want to compile a program or a kernel. This package
differs from the normal SUSE binutils package in that it is designed to
cross-compile from whatever platform SUSE Linux is running on to HPPA64
targets. This can be handy even if you are running on an HPPA
development platform, because it decouples the host tools from your
embedded tools.
