- Update to binutils 2.31
* The AArch64 port now supports showing disassembly notes which are emitted
when inconsistencies are found with the instruction that may result in the
instruction being invalid. These can be turned on with the option -M notes
to objdump.
* The AArch64 port now emits warnings when a combination of an instruction and
a named register could be invalid.
* Added O modifier to ar to display member offsets inside an archive
* The ADR and ADRL pseudo-instructions supported by the ARM assembler
now only set the bottom bit of the address of thumb function symbols
if the -mthumb-interwork command line option is active.
* Add --generate-missing-build-notes=[yes|no] option to create (or not) GNU
Build Attribute notes if none are present in the input sources. Add a
--enable-generate-build-notes=[yes|no] configure time option to set the
default behaviour. Set the default if the configure option is not used
to "no".
* Remove -mold-gcc command-line option for x86 targets.
* Add -O[2|s] command-line options to x86 assembler to enable alternate
shorter instruction encoding.
* Add support for .nops directive. It is currently supported only for
x86 targets.
* Speed up direct linking with DLLs for Cygwin and Mingw targets.
* Add a configure option --enable-separate-code to decide whether
-z separate-code should be enabled in ELF linker by default. Default
to yes for Linux/x86 targets. Note that -z separate-code can increase
disk and memory size.
* Includes riscv-relax-size.patch, riscv-relax-relocatable.patch,
riscv-relax-versioned-hidden.patch and riscv-wrap-relax.patch
- Refresh enable-targets-gold.diff.
- Adjust cross-avr-omit_section_dynsym.patch.
