@@ -8,6 +8,12 @@ for the sake of convenience and simplicity, each supported version of
an upstream source tree has a patch named package-x.y.z.midipix.patch.
for packages not using libtool, building for the midipix target should
-only require the above patch file. if the package does use libtool,
-however, then you should also copy libtool.midipix to the top
-directory of its source tree.
+only require the above patch file. packages which do depend on libtool
+should be built with slibtool (dl.midipix.org/slibtool), which should
+be as simple as:
+
+$ export MAKE="make LIBTOOL=slibtool"
+$ ./configure --host=... && make && make install
+
+A few packages (most notably binutils and gdb) require that you replace
+'slibtool' with 'slibtool-static' in the above export statement.
