What to call the tools for Hitachi H8/300

Cross-development tools in the GNUPro Toolkit are normally installed with names that reflect the target machine, so that you can install more than one set of tools in the same binary directory.

The target name, constructed with the --target option to configure, is used as a prefix to the program name. For example, the compiler for the Hitachi H8/300 (called simply gcc in native configurations) is called with the following input.

    h8300-hms-gcc

Likewise, the Hitachi H8/300-configured gdb is called with the following input.

    h8300-hms-gdb

For DOS-hosted toolchains, the tools are simply called by their standard names: gcc, gdb, etc.
