- 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.

* 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
option to "warn-sym-only" will make the assembler generate a warning whenever a
symbol is defined containing multibyte characters. (References to undefined
symbols will not generate warnings).
* Outputs of .ds.x directive and .tfloat directive with hex input from
x86 assembler have been reduced from 12 bytes to 10 bytes to match the
output of .tfloat directive.
* Add support for 'armv8.8-a', 'armv9-a', 'armv9.1-a', 'armv9.2-a' and
'armv9.3-a' for -march in AArch64 GAS.
* Add support for 'armv8.7-a', 'armv8.8-a', 'armv9-a', 'armv9.1-a',
'armv9.2-a' and 'armv9.3-a' for -march in Arm GAS.
* Add support for Intel AVX512_FP16 instructions.
* Add -z pack-relative-relocs/-z no pack-relative-relocs to x86 ELF
linker to pack relative relocations in the DT_RELR section.
* Add support for the LoongArch architecture.
* Add -z indirect-extern-access/-z noindirect-extern-access to x86 ELF
linker to control canonical function pointers and copy relocation.
* Add --max-cache-size=SIZE to set the the maximum cache size to SIZE
bytes.
- Add binutils-2.38-branch.diff.gz.
- Removed deletion of man pages as they should be properly packages
in tarball.
- Rebased patches: aarch64-common-pagesize.patch, add-ulp-section.diff,
binutils-bfd_h.patch, binutils-revert-nm-symversion.diff,
binutils-revert-plt32-in-branches.diff, binutils-skip-rpaths.patch
and binutils-compat-old-behaviour.diff.
