 ## Building
 
-### Using --config=wasm
-
-Put the following lines into your `.bazelrc`:
-```
-build:wasm --crosstool_top=@emsdk//emscripten_toolchain:everything
-build:wasm --cpu=wasm
-build:wasm --host_crosstool_top=@bazel_tools//tools/cpp:toolchain
-```
-
-Simply pass `--config=wasm` when building a normal `cc_binary`. The result of
-this build will be a tar archive containing any files produced by emscripten.

-### Using wasm_cc_binary
+### Using wasm_cc_binary (preferred)
 First, write a new rule wrapping your `cc_binary`.

 `wasm_cc_binary` uses transition to use emscripten toolchain on `cc_target`
 and all of its dependencies, and does not require amending `.bazelrc`. This
 is the preferred way, since it also unpacks the resulting tarball.

+See `test_external/` for an example using [embind](https://emscripten.org/docs/porting/connecting_cpp_and_javascript/embind.html).
