[ol8_appstream] gcc-toolset-11-binutils-2.36.1-4.0.2.el8_6.x86_64

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 Feb 06 2024 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> - 2.36.1-4.0.2

  - Refresh CTF patches from upstream (2.42).
    - Fix more cases where operations on child dicts could leave errors on
      the parent, this time associated with CTF dict creation (upstream PR
      libctf/30985).
    - Fix the cu-mapped link feature (not exposed by GNU ld) to use only
      the last mapping provided for a given translation unit, rather than a
      random mix of first and last
    - Fix a couple of tiny missing bits in bfd/, fixing an unlikely CTF strtab
      corruption
  - Fix dependencies of libctf.so and libctf-nobfd.so to cite the libraries
    the code actually depends on.  (Fixes observed link problems with
    libctf-nobfd.so needing extra libraries on the link line versus upstream:
    libctf.so changes done purely for consistency.)
