+The original project doesn't come with a readme.
+
+The code has been slightly tweaked to add support for amd64 and to obtain a
+more readable output format.
+
+Tested with mxe (gcc 5.5.0, binutils 2.28). Obviously you need a shared build.
+mxe disables shared versions of bfd and iberty, but actually they work just
+fine. Simply remove this line
+```
+$(PKG)_BUILD_SHARED =
+```
+from their makefiles and change the options for `./configure`
+(`--enable-static` to `--disable-static`, `--disable-shared` to
+`--enable-shared`).
