759debugging information or store symbol table information, and default
760endianness.  The available configuration names are: &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">mipsecoff</span></samp>&rsquo;,

770Furthermore, the primary target or others specified with
771&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">--enable-targets=...</span></samp>&rsquo; at configuration time must include support for
772the other format, if both are to be available.  For example, the Irix 5
773configuration includes support for both.
