@node Selecting The Target System
@chapter Selecting the target system
You can specify three aspects of the target system to the GNU binary
file utilities, each in several ways. The three aspects of the target
system that you can specify are
@itemize @bullet
@item
the target,
@item
the architecture, and
@item
the linker emulation (which applies to the linker only).
@end itemize
In the following summaries, the lists of ways to specify values are in
order of decreasing precedence. In other words, the ways listed earlier
override the ways listed later.
The commands to list valid values only list the values that the programs
you are running were configured for. If they were configured with
@samp{--with-targets=all}, the commands list most of the available
values, but a few are left out; not all targets can be configured in at
once because some of them can only be compiled ``native'' (on hosts with
the same type as the target system).
