-Cross-development utilities: ar, as, gasp, gprof, ld, nm, objcopy,

-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 ALPHA
-targets. This can be handy even if you are running on an ALPHA
-development platform, because it decouples the host tools from your
-embedded tools.
