[ol8_u3_baseos_base] binutils-2.30-79.0.1.el8.aarch64

Binutils is a collection of binary utilities, including ar (for
creating, modifying and extracting from archives), as (a family of GNU
assemblers), gprof (for displaying call graph profile data), ld (the
GNU linker), nm (for listing symbols from object files), objcopy (for
copying and translating object files), objdump (for displaying
information from object files), ranlib (for generating an index for
the contents of an archive), readelf (for displaying detailed
information about binary files), size (for listing the section sizes
of an object or archive file), strings (for listing printable strings
from files), strip (for discarding symbols), and addr2line (for
converting addresses to file and line).

• Tue Mar 17 2020 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> - 2.30-68.0.2

  - Backport the non-cycle-detecting-capable deduplicating CTF linker
  - Backport a fix for an upstream hashtab crash (no upstream bug number),
    triggered by the above.
  - Fix deduplication of ambiguously-named types in CTF.
  - CTF types without names are not ambiguously-named.
  - Stop the CTF_LINK_EMPTY_CU_MAPPINGS flag crashing.
  - Only emit ambiguous types as hidden if they are named and there is already
    a type with that name.
  - Make sure completely empty dicts get their header written out properly
  - Do not fail if adding anonymous struct/union members to structs/unions that
    already contain other anonymous members at a different offset
  - Correctly look up pointers to non-root-visible structures
  - Emit error messages in dumping into the dump stream
  - Do not abort early on dump-time errors
  - Elide likely duplicates (same name, same kind) within a single TU (cross-
    TU duplicate/ambiguous-type detection works as before).
  - Fix linking of the CTF variable section
  - Fix spurious conflicts of variables (also affects the nondeduplicating linker)
  - Defend against CUs without names
  - When linking only a single input file, set the output CTF CU name to the
    name of the input
  - Support cv-qualified bitfields
  - Fix off-by-one error in SHA-1 sizing

• Wed Feb 12 2020 Nick Clifton <nickc@redhat.com> - 2.30-73
