# Options specific to extracting packages 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.
