For example, the MeP utils is used to reconfigure gcc, binutils, cgen, sid, and a few other places (libgloss) according to the templates provided by the chip fab (MeP is a synthetic chip) so as to match the specific cpu configurations in your chip (how many cores, which options each core has, memory layout, etc). (for the lawyers: we were careful to make the resulting files just as editable as one would expect, you do not *need* these utils to build/hack/use the gnu tools, only if you want an easier way to customize them for specific hardware)
