CoreBinUtils

This directory provides a ./configure && make workflow that orchestrates all ported subcommands while keeping each subdirectory's own GNUmakefile as the build source of truth.

Build

./configure
make -f GNUmakefile -j"$(nproc)" all

Default behavior is musl-first toolchain selection (musl-gcc/musl-capable clang candidates), with generated top-level overrides for common variables (CC, AR, RANLIB, CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc.).

Test

make -f GNUmakefile test

This runs each subdirectory test target through the top-level orchestrator. Environment-limited tests may print SKIP and continue.

Outputs

All generated artifacts are centralized under:

build/   # object and generated intermediate files
out/     # final binaries and test helper outputs

Subdirectories are prepared to use these shared roots during top-level builds.

Maintenance Targets

make -f GNUmakefile clean
make -f GNUmakefile distclean
make -f GNUmakefile reconfigure

• clean: removes shared build/ and out/
• distclean: also removes generated top-level GNUmakefile and config.mk
• reconfigure: regenerates top-level build files

Notes

• Subdirectory GNUmakefile files are not replaced; the top-level file only drives and overrides invocation context.
• GNUmakefile and config.mk are generated artifacts from ./configure.
• For command-specific behavior, limitations, and port notes, see each subdirectory README.md.
