* [RV32] We've fixed several issues for 32-bit RISC-V.
mold can now build complex programs including itself for the target.
* [ARM32] mold gained range extension thunks so that it can now link programs whose
.text is larger than 16 MiB. Previously, mold couldn't link such large programs.
We've also fixed general stability issues for ARM32.

* mold/macOS is now available as an alpha feature. We do not recommend using it for anything
serious though. Starting from this version, we accept not only mold/Unix issues but also
mold/macOS ones on our GitHub Issues. Feel free to file a bug if you encounter any problem.
* We started supporting CMake in addition to Make to build mold. Our long-term plan is to migrate
from Make to CMake because we want to support Windows eventually and CMake provides
a better Windows support than Make does. (e6a0e67)
* There was a bug that mold accidentally exported a hidden symbol from an executable
if a shared library linked to that executable happened to define the same symbol.
This caused a build issue with Blender (#606). The bug has been fixed. (b163068)
--hash-style=both is now the default if no --hash-style option is given. Previously,
--hash-style=sysv was the default. This change shouldn't affect most users because
the compiler driver (cc, gcc, clang, etc.) always passes --hash-style to the linker.
We made this change because GNU ld defaults to --hash-style=both.
* Alias symbols defined by the --defsym option now have the same scope as the aliased symbols.
Previously, alias symbols defined by --defsym were always hidden and never
be exported as dynamic symbols. (5dd1227)
* mold now accepts foo = bar-style linker script directive to define symbol aliases.
Previously, such statement was treated as a syntax error.
This change was made to link mariadb-connector-c correctly (f0e1237)
* Symbols in mergeable string sections now have correct output section
indices instead of SHN_UNDEF. (a595c48)
* [ARM32] Previously, calling a function from ARM code to Thumb code
caused a program crash due to bug #442. This issue has been fixed. (053b90b)
- Run tests in parallel.

* Initial support for the 32-bit RISC-V (RV32) has landed. (d9db6bc)
* mold now demangles Rust symbols in error messages thanks to @eddyb's rust-demangle.c. (22e1bba)
* --export-dynamic-symbol and --export-dynamic-symbol-list are now supported for
the sake of compatibility with LLVM lld. With these options, you can specify
symbols that should be exported using glob pattern. (e115aae)
* [x86-64] PLT entries created by mold now always begins with ENDBR64 instruction
to improve compatibility with Intel IBT (Indirect Branch Tracking.) (e3e371d)
* mold now defines __dso_handle symbol. The lack of this linker-synthesized symbol
caused a link error with GCC in some environments (#507). (764d757)
- Remove fix-tests.patch.
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools:compiler/mold?expand=0&rev=60
* mold now supports .preinit_array sections. Without this,
AddressSanitizer didn't work in some environments. (3b75398)
* [ARM32] R_ARM_MOVT_PREL and R_ARM_PREL31 relocations are now handled
correctly so that mold no longer emit spurious "recompile with -fPIC" errors. (5294300)
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools:compiler/mold?expand=0&rev=51
* The --icf=safe option has been supported.
* LTO now works reliably under a heavy load.
mold used to abort occasionally under such condition on Linux
due to a spurious failure of pthread_create(2). (d8a8877)
* mold now prints out undefined symbol errors in a format similar to LLVM lld. (13816a1)
* mold now prints out a better error message for the disk full situation. (5969260)
* mold can now build GCC 12 with LTO. (708ad63)
* Fixed an LTO issue on 32-bits hosts such as i686. (920266b)
* mold is now AddressSanitizer and UndefinedSanitizer clean. (fafb75b, 3499ee6)
* mold used to create broken debug info on 32-bits hosts (#490).
The bug has been fixed. (0abd0a4)
* mold used to accept not only a single dash but also double
dashes for single-letter options. For example, --S was accidentally accepted as an alias for-S.
This is unconventional, and such options are no longer accepted. (232dafa)
* --color-diagnostics is now an alias for --color-diagnostics=auto
instead of --color-diagnostics=always for compatibility with LLVM lld.
* pkg-config is no longer needed to build mold.
* The --package-metadata option is supported. (#505, e9f6715)
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools:compiler/mold?expand=0&rev=43
* Various bugs in --gdb-index have been fixed.
* mold now recognizes --thinlto-cache-dir and --thinlto-cache-policy
for the sake of compatibility with LLVM lld. (7ebd071)
* mold can now handle TLS common symbols. It looks like GCC
sometimes creates such symbol for a thread-local variable. (cf850f8)
* In some edge cases, mold created a non-versioned symbol and
a versioned one for the same symbol, even though if one symbol is versioned,
all symbols of the same name must be versioned.
This bug has been fixed. (8298c0a)
* mold used to write a PLT address of a symbol instead
of its address to .symtab. This bug has been fixed. (e088db7)
* mold can now handle an input file
with more than 219 symbols. (f1f2d40)
* /usr/local/libexec/mold/ld is now installed
as a relative symlink instead of an absolute symlink. (5803c3c)

- Start using %{_libexecdir} as an installation location.
- Remove quotationsmarks from build_args as it prevented the use
of system packages for TBB and xxHash.
- Drop configure-fix.patch as xxHash is used from system package,
so we don't need to patch the wrong configuration of xxHash.
- Use telling name of source tarball, adjust GitHub url to have
matching names.
- Update to version 1.0.1:
* make install now creates /usr/local/libexec/mold/ld as
a symlink to the mold executable. We do this for GCC.
By passing -B/usr/local/libexec/mold, you can tell GCC to use ld
inside that directory instead of /usr/bin/ld. (e8dcecf)
* xxHash library is now included in the mold's source tree as a subtree for ease of building.
If you want to link against a libxxhash in a system library directory, pass SYSTEM_XXHASH=1 to make. (665bffa)
* The extern "C++" directive is now supported in the dynamic list. (7aa5c39)
* --color-diagnostics is supported. mold used to ignore that flag. (6e290aa)
* Not only * but also ? are now treated as special characters in the version script wildcard pattern. (31b0248)
* The --threads=N option has been added as
an alias for --thread-count=N. (f9ff048)
* The following option has been added: --defsym (f6e8006), -z nodefaultlib (8c86c28),
-z separate-code, -z noseparate-code and -z separate-lodable-segments (5601cf4), -z max-page-size (f3766cd)
- Add workaround patch configure-fix.patch.
