[ol8_appstream] binutils-devel-2.30-119.0.2.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.

• Wed Aug 02 2023 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> - 2.30-119.0.2

  - Refresh CTF patches from upstream.
    - Avoid spurious corruption error with symtypetab section emitted by old OL8 GCCs
    - Various obscure install-time linking problems
    - Make objdump/readelf --ctf parameter optional; make objdump --ctf-parent take
      a CTF member name, not a section name
    - Improve dumping of types when some types elicit a libctf error
    - Put functions as well as variables in the (misnamed) CTF variable section
    - Improve handling of various forms of corrupted CTF input.
    - Fix errors in comments in <ctf.h> and <ctf-api.h>
    - Make CTF dicts reproducible even when conflicting types are seen
    - Prevent corruption of output when linking multiple object files derived from
      the same source
    - Minor compiler warning and portability fixes
    - Fix (unlikely) crash-inducing uninitialized memory access and wild
      pointer overwrite when linking
    - Fix the reported offsets of fields within unnamed structs/unions
      [Orabug: 35191322]
    - Fix a number of places where operations carried out on child dicts
      that errored were producing errors on the parent, not the child,
      so the caller never noticed them
