We've been using the ELF Tool Chain version of tools such as nm, readelf, size and strings by default for some time. The Binutils versions can currently be installed instead by setting WITHOUT_ELFTOOLCHAIN_TOOLS in src.conf(5). I'm planning to remove the Binutils versions before too long. The patch is in review at https://reviews.freebsd.org/D3238. If anyone is currently using WITHOUT_ELFTOOLCHAIN_TOOLS in order to install the Binutils tools instead, I'd appreciate knowing why. -Ed
