Re: [SOLVED] Is having --enable-targets=all undocumented normal?
Hello Mike,

the toplevel README is shared between projects ... it already hints at reading

No, thinking again about it, that's fine like this. I should have paid
more attention to the sentence referring to binutils/README file.

the toplevel configure is shared among projects (binutils, gdb, etc...) so
putting subdir options in configure would confuse other projects ... binutils
is really a collection of tools and each one has its own configure
so if you want a list of all configure options, you have to
run ./{binutils,ld,gas,bfd,etc...}/configure --help and read
{binutils,ld,gas,bfd,etc...}/README

True. Binutils is only part of the tree and the user has to take care to
look at each subtree for options. That's the good way to go.
Sorry for the noise and thank you for the explanations.
