- Update to binutils 2.35:
* The asseembler can now produce DWARF-5 format line number tables.
* Readelf now has a "lint" mode to enable extra checks of the files it is processing.
* Readelf will now display "[...]" when it has to truncate a symbol name.
The old behaviour - of displaying as many characters as possible, up to
the 80 column limit - can be restored by the use of the --silent-truncation
option.
* The linker can now produce a dependency file listing the inputs that it
has processed, much like the -M -MP option supported by the compiler.

- Update to binutils 2.34:
* The disassembler (objdump --disassemble) now has an option to
generate ascii art thats show the arcs between that start and end
points of control flow instructions.

servers in order to download debug information about the files that
they are processing.
* The assembler and linker now support the generation of ELF format
files for the Z80 architecture.

- Update to binutils 2.33.1:
* Adds support for the Arm Scalable Vector Extension version 2
(SVE2) instructions, the Arm Transactional Memory Extension (TME)
instructions and the Armv8.1-M Mainline and M-profile Vector
Extension (MVE) instructions.
* Adds support for the Arm Cortex-A76AE, Cortex-A77 and Cortex-M35P
processors and the AArch64 Cortex-A34, Cortex-A65, Cortex-A65AE,
Cortex-A76AE, and Cortex-A77 processors.
* Adds a .float16 directive for both Arm and AArch64 to allow
encoding of 16-bit floating point literals.
* For MIPS, Add -m[no-]fix-loongson3-llsc option to fix (or not)
Loongson3 LLSC Errata. Add a --enable-mips-fix-loongson3-llsc=[yes|no]
configure time option to set the default behavior. Set the default
if the configure option is not used to "no".
* The Cortex-A53 Erratum 843419 workaround now supports a choice of
which workaround to use. The option --fix-cortex-a53-843419 now
takes an optional argument --fix-cortex-a53-843419[=full|adr|adrp]
which can be used to force a particular workaround to be used.
See --help for AArch64 for more details.
* Add support for GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI and
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_PAC in ELF GNU program properties
in the AArch64 ELF linker.
* Add -z force-bti for AArch64 to enable GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI
on output while warning about missing GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI
on inputs and use PLTs protected with BTI.
* Add -z pac-plt for AArch64 to pick PAC enabled PLTs.
* Add --source-comment[=<txt>] option to objdump which if present,
provides a prefix to source code lines displayed in a disassembly.
* Add --set-section-alignment <section-name>=<power-of-2-align>
option to objcopy to allow the changing of section alignments.

* The AArch64 port now supports showing disassembly notes which are emitted
when inconsistencies are found with the instruction that may result in the
instruction being invalid. These can be turned on with the option -M notes
to objdump.
* The AArch64 port now emits warnings when a combination of an instruction and
a named register could be invalid.
* Added O modifier to ar to display member offsets inside an archive
* The ADR and ADRL pseudo-instructions supported by the ARM assembler
now only set the bottom bit of the address of thumb function symbols
if the -mthumb-interwork command line option is active.
* Add --generate-missing-build-notes=[yes|no] option to create (or not) GNU
Build Attribute notes if none are present in the input sources. Add a
--enable-generate-build-notes=[yes|no] configure time option to set the
default behaviour. Set the default if the configure option is not used
to "no".
* Remove -mold-gcc command-line option for x86 targets.
* Add -O[2|s] command-line options to x86 assembler to enable alternate
shorter instruction encoding.

x86 targets.
* Speed up direct linking with DLLs for Cygwin and Mingw targets.
* Add a configure option --enable-separate-code to decide whether
-z separate-code should be enabled in ELF linker by default. Default
to yes for Linux/x86 targets. Note that -z separate-code can increase
disk and memory size.

which displays the contents of any .gnu_debuglink or .gnu_debugaltlink
sections.
Add a --debug-dump=follow-links option to readelf and a --dwarf=follow-links
option to objdump which causes indirect links into separate debug info files
to be followed when dumping other DWARF sections.
* Add support for loaction views in DWARF debug line information.
* Add -z separate-code to generate separate code PT_LOAD segment.
* Add "-z undefs" command line option as the inverse of the "-z defs" option.
* Add -z globalaudit command line option to force audit libraries to be run
for every dynamic object loaded by an executable - provided that the loader
supports this functionality.
* Tighten linker script grammar around file name specifiers to prevent the use
of SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT and SORT_BY_INIT_PRIORITY on filenames. These would
previously be accepted but had no effect.

* The MIPS port now supports microMIPS eXtended Physical Addressing (XPA)
instructions for assembly and disassembly.
* The MIPS port now supports the microMIPS Release 5 ISA for assembly and
disassembly.
* The MIPS port now supports the Imagination interAptiv MR2 processor,
which implements the MIPS32r3 ISA, the MIPS16e2 ASE as well as a couple
of implementation-specific regular MIPS and MIPS16e2 ASE instructions.
* The SPARC port now supports the SPARC M8 processor, which implements the
Oracle SPARC Architecture 2017.

* Add support for ELF SHF_GNU_MBIND and PT_GNU_MBIND_XXX.

so that inlined functions will display their nesting information.
* Add --merge-notes options to objcopy to reduce the size of notes in
a binary file by merging and deleting redundant notes.
* Add support for locating separate debug info files using the build-id
method, where the separate file has a name based upon the build-id of
the original file.
GAS
* Add support for ELF SHF_GNU_MBIND.
* Add support for the WebAssembly file format and wasm32 ELF conversion.

that the registers are invalid.

added to the ARM port.

* Add support for locating separate debug info files using the build-id
method, where the separate file has a name based upon the build-id of
the original file.
* This version of binutils fixes a problem with PowerPC VLE 16A and 16D
relocations which were functionally swapped, for example,
R_PPC_VLE_HA16A performed like R_PPC_VLE_HA16D while R_PPC_VLE_HA16D
performed like R_PPC_VLE_HA16A. This could have been fixed by
renumbering relocations, which would keep object files created by an
older version of gas compatible with a newer ld. However, that would
require an ABI update, affecting other assemblers and linkers that
create and process the relocations correctly. It is recommended that
all VLE object files be recompiled, but ld can modify the relocations
if --vle-reloc-fixup is passed to ld. If the new ld command line
option is not used, ld will ld warn on finding relocations inconsistent
with the instructions being relocated.
* The nm program has a new command line option (--with-version-strings)
which will display a symbol's version information, if any, after the
symbol's name.
* The ARC port of objdump now accepts a -M option to specify the extra
instruction class(es) that should be disassembled.
* The --remove-section option for objcopy and strip now accepts section
patterns starting with an exclamation point to indicate a non-matching
section. A non-matching section is removed from the set of sections
matched by an earlier --remove-section pattern.
* The --only-section option for objcopy now accepts section patterns
starting with an exclamation point to indicate a non-matching section.
A non-matching section is removed from the set of sections matched by
an earlier --only-section pattern.
* New --remove-relocations=SECTIONPATTERN option for objcopy and strip.
