    1.12 +      Override tools' versions of config.guess and config.sub with the ones
    1.13 +      from crosstool-NG. This means that all instances of config.guess and
    1.14 +      config.sub in gcc, binutils, glibc, etc... will be replaced.
    1.15 +
    1.16 +      Most of the time, the versions of those scripts found in packages are old
    1.17 +      versions, thus lacking some target definitions. This is the case for
    1.18 +      uClibc-based tuples in old versions of gcc and gdb, for example.
    1.19 +
    1.20 +      Also, doing so will guarantee that all components have the same tuples
    1.21 +      definitions for your target, and not diverging ones.
    1.22 +
    1.23 +      You can update the ones provided with crosstool-NG by first running:
    1.24 +        ct-ng updatetools
    1.25 +      in the directory where you want to run crosstool-NG prior to the build.
