[ol8_appstream] binutils-devel-2.30-58.0.7.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.

• Thu Jan 23 2020 Jose E. Marchesi <jose.marchesi@oracle.com> - 2.30-58.0.7

  - Provide PIC libctf*.a files and linker scripts to avoid linking
    with the shared objects from binutils.  This is to avoid adding a hard
    architecture dependency between binutils-devel and binutils packages.

• Wed Nov 20 2019 Egeyar Bagcioglu <egeyar.bagcioglu@oracle.com> - 2.30-58.0.2

  - CVE-2018-12207 / Intel SKX102
  - Introduce the following gas options:
    -malign-branch
    -malign-branch-boundary
    -malign-branch-prefix-size
    -mbranches-within-32B-boundaries
  - Lessen the performance hit due to the Mitigation of Intel's JCC Erratum by
    backporting the patch series that teach gas not to place various jump
    instructions at the end of 32 byte boundries or across such boundaries.
