1.8 +----------------------------------+

1.10 +If you have an existing toolchain, you can re-use the options used to build it
1.11 +to create a new toolchain. That needs a very little bit of effort on your side
1.12 +but is quite easy. The options to build a toolchain are saved in the build log
1.13 +file that is saved within the toolchain. crosstool-NG can extract those options
1.14 +to recreate a new configuration:
1.15 + ct-ng extractconfig </path/to/your/build.log
1.16 +
1.17 +will extract those options, prompt you for the new ones, which you can later
1.18 +edit with menuconfig.
1.19 +
1.20 +Of course, if your build log was compressed, you'd have to use something like:
1.21 + bzcat /path/to/your/build.log.bz2 |ct-ng extractconfig
1.22 +
