17.2 Architecture Selection
An architecture is a type of CPU on which an object file is to run. Its name may contain a colon, separating the name of the processor family from the name of the particular CPU.
The command to list valid architecture values is ‘objdump -i’ (the second column contains the relevant information).
Sample values: ‘m68k:68020’, ‘mips:3000’, ‘sparc’.
