* Intel APX: add support for CFCMOV, CCMP, CTEST, zero-upper, NF
(APX_F now fully supported)

of times the macro/body was executed
* aarch64: support 'armv9.5-a' for -march, add support for LUT
and LUT2
* s390: base register operand in D(X,B) and D(L,B) can now be

operand type (use option
'warn-regtype-mismatch=[strict|relaxed|no]' to adjust)

* mips: '--trap' now causes either trap or breakpoint instructions
to be emitted as per current ISA, instead of always using trap
insn and failing when current ISA was incompatible with that
* LoongArch: accept .option pseudo-op for fine-grained control
of assembly code options; add support for DT_RELR
* readelf: now displays RELR relocations in full detail;
add -j/--display-section to show just those section(s) content

when input object files request it), and --error-execstack plus
--error-rxw-segments to convert the existing warnings into errors.
* objdump: Add -Z/--decompress to be used with -s/--full-contents to

as comment along with the disassembly.

This should fix the last fail in Staging, the build of
libQt5WebEngine on i586. *knockonwood*
- Add binutils-use-less-memory.diff to be a little nicer to 32bit
userspace and huge links. [bsc#1216908]
- riscv-relro.patch: RISC-V: Protect .got with relro
- Add libzstd-devel to Requires of binutils-devel. (bsc#1215341)
- Update to version 2.41 [PED-5778]:
* The MIPS port now supports the Sony Interactive Entertainment Allegrex
processor, used with the PlayStation Portable, which implements the MIPS
II ISA along with a single-precision FPU and a few implementation-specific
integer instructions.
* Objdump's --private option can now be used on PE format files to display the
fields in the file header and section headers.
* New versioned release of libsframe: libsframe.so.1. This release introduces
versioned symbols with version node name LIBSFRAME_1.0. This release also
updates the ABI in an incompatible way: this includes removal of
sframe_get_funcdesc_with_addr API, change in the behavior of
sframe_fre_get_ra_offset and sframe_fre_get_fp_offset APIs.
* SFrame Version 2 is now the default (and only) format version supported by
gas, ld, readelf and objdump.
* Add command-line option, --strip-section-headers, to objcopy and strip to
remove ELF section header from ELF file.
* The RISC-V port now supports the following new standard extensions:
- Zicond (conditional zero instructions)
- Zfa (additional floating-point instructions)
- Zvbb, Zvbc, Zvkg, Zvkned, Zvknh[ab], Zvksed, Zvksh, Zvkn, Zvknc, Zvkng,
Zvks, Zvksc, Zvkg, Zvkt (vector crypto instructions)
* The RISC-V port now supports the following vendor-defined extensions:
- XVentanaCondOps

* Add support for Intel FRED, LKGS and AMX-COMPLEX instructions.
* A new .insn directive is recognized by x86 gas.
* Add SME2 support to the AArch64 port.
* The linker now accepts a command line option of --remap-inputs
<PATTERN>=<FILE> to relace any input file that matches <PATTERN> with
<FILE>. In addition the option --remap-inputs-file=<FILE> can be used to
specify a file containing any number of these remapping directives.

- Update to version 2.40:
* Objdump has a new command line option --show-all-symbols which will make it
display all symbols that match a given address when disassembling. (Normally
only the first symbol that matches an address is shown).
* Add --enable-colored-disassembly configure time option to enable colored
disassembly output by default, if the output device is a terminal. Note,
this configure option is disabled by default.
* DCO signed contributions are now accepted.
* objcopy --decompress-debug-sections now supports zstd compressed debug
sections. The new option --compress-debug-sections=zstd compresses debug
sections with zstd.
* addr2line and objdump --dwarf now support zstd compressed debug sections.
* The dlltool program now accepts --deterministic-libraries and
--non-deterministic-libraries as command line options to control whether or
not it generates deterministic output libraries. If neither of these options
are used the default is whatever was set when the binutils were configured.
* readelf and objdump now have a newly added option --sframe which dumps the
SFrame section.
* Add support for Intel RAO-INT instructions.
* Add support for Intel AVX-NE-CONVERT instructions.
* Add support for Intel MSRLIST instructions.
