- 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.

- Update to binutils 2.37:
* The GNU Binutils sources now requires a C99 compiler and library to
build.
* Support for the arm-symbianelf format has been removed.
* Support for Realm Management Extension (RME) for AArch64 has been
added.
* A new linker option '-z report-relative-reloc' for x86 ELF targets
has been added to report dynamic relative relocations.
* A new linker option '-z start-stop-gc' has been added to disable
special treatment of __start_*/__stop_* references when
--gc-sections.
* A new linker options '-Bno-symbolic' has been added which will
cancel the '-Bsymbolic' and '-Bsymbolic-functions' options.
* The readelf tool has a new command line option which can be used to
specify how the numeric values of symbols are reported.
--sym-base=0|8|10|16 tells readelf to display the values in base 8,
base 10 or base 16. A sym base of 0 represents the default action
of displaying values under 10000 in base 10 and values above that in
base 16.
* A new format has been added to the nm program. Specifying
'--format=just-symbols' (or just using -j) will tell the program to
only display symbol names and nothing else.
* A new command line option '--keep-section-symbols' has been added to
objcopy and strip. This stops the removal of unused section symbols
when the file is copied. Removing these symbols saves space, but
sometimes they are needed by other tools.
* The '--weaken', '--weaken-symbol' and '--weaken-symbols' options
supported by objcopy now make undefined symbols weak on targets that
support weak symbols.
* Readelf and objdump can now display and use the contents of .debug_sup

- Update to 2.35.1 and rebased branch diff:
* This is a point release over the previous 2.35 version, containing bug
fixes, and as an exception to the usual rule, one new feature. The
new feature is the support for a new directive in the assembler:
".nop". This directive creates a single no-op instruction in whatever
encoding is correct for the target architecture. Unlike the .space or
.fill this is a real instruction, and it does affect the generation of
DWARF line number tables, should they be enabled.

- 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.

* 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.
* The binutils tools now have support for debuginfod. Debuginfod is a
HTTP service for distributing ELF/DWARF debugging information as
well as source code. The tools can now connect to debuginfod
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.
