This is normally set up in the +@file{config/@var{target}.mt} file of your choice. If the name is not +defined, then all the architectures supported are included. + +When BFD starts up, all the architectures are called with an +initialize method. It is up to the architecture back end to +insert as many items into the list of architectures as it wants to; +generally this would be one for each machine and one for the +default case (an item with a machine field of 0). + +BFD's idea of an architecture is implemented in @file{archures.c}. + +@subsection bfd_architecture + + +@strong{Description}@* +This enum gives the object file's CPU architecture, in a +global sense---i.e., what processor family does it belong to? +Another field indicates which processor within +the family is in use. The machine gives a number which +distinguishes different versions of the architecture, +containing, for example, 2 and 3 for Intel i960 KA and i960 KB, +and 68020 and 68030 for Motorola 68020 and
