[ol8_appstream] binutils-devel-2.30-79.0.1.el8.x86_64

This package contains BFD and opcodes static and dynamic libraries.

The dynamic libraries are in this package, rather than a separate
base package because they are actually linker scripts that force
the use of the static libraries.  This is because the API of the
BFD library is too unstable to be used dynamically.

The static libraries are here because they are now needed by the
dynamic libraries.

Developers starting new projects are strongly encouraged to consider
using libelf instead of BFD.

• 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
