- Update to binutils 2.38:
* elfedit: Add --output-abiversion option to update ABIVERSION.
* Add support for the LoongArch instruction set.
* Tools which display symbols or strings (readelf, strings, nm, objdump)
have a new command line option which controls how unicode characters are
handled. By default they are treated as normal for the tool. Using
--unicode=locale will display them according to the current locale.
Using --unicode=hex will display them as hex byte values, whilst
--unicode=escape will display them as escape sequences. In addition
using --unicode=highlight will display them as unicode escape sequences
highlighted in red (if supported by the output device).
* readelf -r dumps RELR relative relocations now.
* Support for efi-app-aarch64, efi-rtdrv-aarch64 and efi-bsdrv-aarch64 has been
added to objcopy in order to enable UEFI development using binutils.
* ar: Add --thin for creating thin archives. -T is a deprecated alias without
diagnostics. In many ar implementations -T has a different meaning, as
specified by X/Open System Interface.
* Add support for AArch64 system registers that were missing in previous
releases.
* Add support for the LoongArch instruction set.
* Add a command-line option, -muse-unaligned-vector-move, for x86 target
to encode aligned vector move as unaligned vector move.
* Add support for Cortex-R52+ for Arm.
* Add support for Cortex-A510, Cortex-A710, Cortex-X2 for AArch64.
* Add support for Cortex-A710 for Arm.
* Add support for Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) for AArch64.
* The --multibyte-handling=[allow|warn|warn-sym-only] option tells the
assembler what to when it encoutners multibyte characters in the input. The
default is to allow them. Setting the option to "warn" will generate a
warning message whenever any multibyte character is encountered. Using the
There are no new CVEs fixed in the release.

IMPORTANT: Please change binutils.spec and then run ./pre_checkin.sh!
Do not change cross-*.spec directly!
The spec file triggers by it's %name if it compiles the native or the
cross version and pre_checkin.sh (called automatically by checkin too)
copies over the binutils.spec and changes the Name field, so you shouldn't
need to worry too much about the cross packages
