comment "Extracting"

config FORCE_EXTRACT

    bool

    prompt "Force extractions"

    default n

    help

      Force extraction of already exctracted tarballs.

      Usefull if you suspect a previous extract did not complete (eg. broken

      tarball), or you added a new set of patches for this component.

config OVERIDE_CONFIG_GUESS_SUB

    bool

    prompt "Override config.{guess,sub}"

    default y

    help

      Override tools' versions of config.guess and config.sub with the ones

      from crosstool-NG. This means that all instances of config.guess and

      config.sub in gcc, binutils, glibc, etc... will be replaced.

      Most of the time, the versions of those scripts found in packages are old

      versions, thus lacking some target definitions. This is the case for

      uClibc-based tuples in old versions of gcc and gdb, for example.

      Also, doing so will guarantee that all components have the same tuples

      definitions for your target, and not diverging ones.

      You can update the ones provided with crosstool-NG by first running:

        ct-ng updatetools

      in the directory where you want to run crosstool-NG prior to the build.

config ONLY_EXTRACT

    bool

    prompt "Stop after extracting tarballs"

    default n

    help

      Exit after unpacking and patching tarballs.

      Usefull to look at the code before doing the build itself.
