- 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 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.
- Regenerate add-ulp-section.diff with -p1 due to a fuzzing issue.
- Remove binutils-2.34-branch.diff.gz.
- Regenerate binutils-build-as-needed.diff due to a fuzzing issue.
- Regenerate binutils-fix-invalid-op-errata.diff as one hunk was upstreamed.
- Remove upstreamed patch binutils-pr25593.diff.
- Regenerate unit-at-a-time.patch due to a fuzzing issue.
- Regenerate binutils-revert-plt32-in-branches.diff.

* 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.
* The MIPS port now supports the MIPS16e2 ASE for assembly and disassembly.
* Add support for ELF SHF_GNU_MBIND and PT_GNU_MBIND_XXX.
* Add support for the wasm32 ELF conversion of the WebAssembly file format.
* Add --inlines option to objdump, which extends the --line-numbers option
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.
* PowerPC gas now checks that the correct register class is used in
instructions. For instance, "addi %f4,%cr3,%r31" warns three times
that the registers are invalid.
* Add support for the Texas Instruments PRU processor.
* Support for the ARMv8-R architecture and Cortex-R52 processor has been
added to the ARM port.
GNU ld

* Add --fix-stm32l4xx-629360 to the ARM linker to enable a link-time
workaround for a bug in the bus matrix / memory controller for some of
the STM32 Cortex-M4 based products (STM32L4xx)
* Add a configure option --enable-compressed-debug-sections={all,ld} to
decide whether DWARF debug sections should be compressed by default.
* Add support for the ARC EM/HS, and ARC600/700 architectures.
* Experimental support for linker garbage collection (--gc-sections)
has been enabled for COFF and PE based targets.
* New command line option for ELF targets to compress DWARF debug
sections, --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi].
* New command line option, --orphan-handling=[place|warn|error|discard], to
adjust how orphan sections are handled. The default is 'place' which gives
the current behaviour, 'warn' and 'error' issue a warning or error
respectively when orphan sections are found, and 'discard' will discard all
orphan sections.
* Add support for LLVM plugin.
* Add --print-memory-usage option to report memory blocks usage.
* Add --require-defined option, it's like --undefined except the new symbol
must be defined by the end of the link.
* Add a configure option --enable-compressed-debug-sections={all,gas} to
decide whether DWARF debug sections should be compressed by default.
* Add support for the ARC EM/HS, and ARC600/700 architectures. Remove
assembler support for Argonaut RISC architectures.
* Add option to objcopy to insert new symbols into a file:
--add-symbol <name>=[<section>:]<value>[,<flags>]
* Add support for the ARC EM/HS, and ARC600/700 architectures.
* Extend objcopy --compress-debug-sections option to support
--compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi] for ELF
targets.
