The compilation of the binutils-package for the ARM processor is just the same as it is for the SH4 just with a different target-tag and a different prefix. So just follow these steps:

• Set the needed environment variables in your shell with the following commands:
  
  target=arm-elf
  prefix=/usr/local/dc/$target
  binaries=$prefix/bin
  PATH=$binaries:$PATH
  
  
• Change to your BUILD-BINUTILS directory
  
  cd /gcc/build-binutils
  
  
• Clean up the BUILD-BINUTILS directory
  (if you've just compiled the SH4 toolchain you should really do this)
  
  make clean
  
  
• Configure your makefile so that it reflects your TARGET and DIRECTORIES
  
  ../binutils-2.11.2/configure --target=$target --prefix=$prefix
  
  (you're used to lengthy processes now, so just grab a coffee)
  
  
• Start the make-procedure including install
  
  make all install
  
  (as with the step above this may take some time... even some more than configuring)
  
  

• Also to be able to use the binutils and compiler we have to add the directory to our path in either .profile or .bashrc add the following line: (this line is valid for both the binutils and gcc !)

  PATH=/usr/local/dc/arm-elf/bin:$PATH

Now you have your ARM-BINUTILS sitting in /usr/local/dc/arm-elf/bin (or any other path you defined in $prefix) . And are ready to comile the remaining parts of the toolchain.
