70<p>You can specify two aspects of the target system to the <small>GNU</small>
71binary file utilities, each in several ways:
72</p>
73<ul>
74<li> the target
75
76</li><li> the architecture
77</li></ul>
78
79<p>In the following summaries, the lists of ways to specify values are in
80order of decreasing precedence.  The ways listed first override those
81listed later.
82</p>
83<p>The commands to list valid values only list the values for which the
84programs you are running were configured.  If they were configured with
85<samp>--enable-targets=all</samp>, the commands list most of the available
86values, but a few are left out; not all targets can be configured in at
87once because some of them can only be configured <em>native</em> (on hosts
88with the same type as the target system).
