- 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

* Fixes PR26520, aka [bsc#1179036], a problem in addr2line with
certain DWARF variable descriptions.
* Also fixes PR26711, PR26656, PR26655, PR26929, PR26808, PR25878,
PR26740, PR26778, PR26763, PR26685, PR26699, PR26902, PR26869,
PR26711
* The above includes fixes for dwo files produced by modern dwp,
fixing several problems in the DWARF reader.

- 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.
- 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.

- Update to binutils 2.34:
* 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.
- Rename and get binutils-2.34-branch.diff.gz (boo#1160254).
- Rebase add-ulp-section.diff, binutils-revert-plt32-in-branches.diff,
cross-avr-size.patch and binutils-skip-rpaths.patch.
- Add new subpackages for libctf and libctf-nobfd.
- Disable LTO due to boo#1163333.
- Includes fixes for these CVEs:
bnc#1153768 aka CVE-2019-17451 aka PR25070
bnc#1153770 aka CVE-2019-17450 aka PR25078

- 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.
