+The GNU Binutils are a collection of binary tools. The main ones are:
+
+    ld - the GNU linker.
+    as - the GNU assembler.
+
+But they also include:
+
+    addr2line - Converts addresses into filenames and line numbers.
+    ar - A utility for creating, modifying and extracting from archives.
+    c++filt - Filter to demangle encoded C++ symbols.
+    dlltool - Creates files for building and using DLLs.
+    gold - A new, faster, ELF only linker, still in beta test.
+    gprof - Displays profiling information.
+    nlmconv - Converts object code into an NLM.
+    nm - Lists symbols from object files.
+    objcopy - Copies and translates object files.
+    objdump - Displays information from object files.
+    ranlib - Generates an index to the contents of an archive.
+    readelf - Displays information from any ELF format object file.
+    size - Lists the section sizes of an object or archive file.
+    strings - Lists printable strings from files.
+    strip - Discards symbols.
+    windmc - A Windows compatible message compiler.
+    windres - A compiler for Windows resource files.
+
+Most of these programs use BFD, the Binary File Descriptor library, to do
+low-level manipulation. Many of them also use the opcodes library to assemble
+and disassemble machine instructions.
+
+The binutils have been ported to most major Unix variants as well as Wintel
+systems, and their main reason for existence is to give the GNU system (and
+GNU/Linux) the facility to compile and link programs."
