+Binutils Package
+================
+
+Interesting Patches
+-------------------
+
+ld needs to be built with multiarch library directories in its list of search
+paths.  Debian has [a patch][debian-ld-ma-patch] to which we can refer for this.
+Additionally, ld scripts need to be installed in the [correct
+location][debian-ld-scriptdir-patch].
+
+Building the Binutils Package
+-----------------------------
+
+You must set the `PKG_TARGET_ARCH` environment variable when building this
+package.
