binutils: update to 2.41.
This release contains numerous bug fixes, and also the
following new features:
In the assembler:
* Add support for Intel FRED instructions.
* Add support for Intel LKGS instructions.
* Add support for Intel AMX-COMPLEX instructions.
* Add SME2 support to the AArch64 port.
* A new .insn directive is recognized by x86 gas.
* Add support for LoongArch LSX instructions.
* Add support for LoongArch LASX instructions.
* Add support for LoongArch LVZ instructions.
* Add support for LoongArch LBT instructions.
* Initial LoongArch support for linker relaxation has been added.
* Deprecate the LoongArch register aliases $v0, $v1, $x, $fv0 and $fv1.
In the linker:
* The linker now accepts a command line option of --remap-inputs
<PATTERN>=<FILE> to relace any input file that matches <PATTERN> with
<FILE>. In addition the option --remap-inputs-file=<FILE> can be used to
specify a file containing any number of these remapping directives.
* The linker command line option --print-map-locals can be used to include
local symbols in a linker map. (ELF targets only).
* For most ELF based targets, if the --enable-linker-version option is used
then the version of the linker will be inserted as a string into the .comment
section.
* The linker script syntax has a new command for output sections: ASCIZ "string"
This will insert a zero-terminated string at the current location.
* Add command-line option, -z nosectionheader, to omit ELF section
header.
In the other binary tools:
* The MIPS port now supports the Sony Interactive Entertainment Allegrex
processor, used with the PlayStation Portable, which implements the MIPS
II ISA along with a single-precision FPU and a few implementation-specific
integer instructions.
* Objdump's --private option can now be used on PE format files to display the
fields in the file header and section headers.
* New versioned release of libsframe: libsframe.so.1. This release introduces
versioned symbols with version node name LIBSFRAME_1.0. This release also
updates the ABI in an incompatible way: this includes removal of
sframe_get_funcdesc_with_addr API, change in the behavior of
sframe_fre_get_ra_offset and sframe_fre_get_fp_offset APIs.
* SFrame Version 2 is now the default (and only) format version supported by
gas, ld, readelf and objdump.
* Add command-line option, --strip-section-headers, to objcopy and strip to
remove ELF section header from ELF file.
* The RISC-V port now supports the following new standard extensions:
- Zicond (conditional zero instructions)
- Zfa (additional floating-point instructions)
- Zvbb, Zvbc, Zvkg, Zvkned, Zvknh[ab], Zvksed, Zvksh, Zvkn, Zvknc, Zvkng,
Zvks, Zvksc, Zvkg, Zvkt (vector crypto instructions)
* The RISC-V port now supports the following vendor-defined extensions:
- XVentanaCondOps
* The LoongArch port now supports the following extensions:
- LSX (Loongson SIMD eXtension; 128-bit vectors)
- LASX (Loongson Advanced SIMD eXtension; 256-bit vectors)
- LVZ (Loongson Virtualization extension)
- LBT (Loongson Binary Translation extension)
* The LoongArch disassembly output received the following tweaks:
- Colored output is now supported.
- Some pseudo-instructions are now shown in place of the canonical forms,
where semantics are equivalent. A disassembler option '-M no-aliases' is
added to disable the new behavior.
- Signed immediates are no longer printed with their hex representation.
- Unrecognized instruction words are now shown with '.word'.

binutils: update to 2.40.
This release contains numerous bug fixes, and also the following new
features:
* Support for more Intel, ARM, Risc-V architecture extensions.
* Support for generating and reading compressed debug sections
using the zstd compression format.
* Support for the SFRAME unwind format.
* Support for the CTF debug format.
* The objdump tool now has an option to enhance its disassembly
output by showing all of the symbols that match an address,
instead of just the first symbol.
* The objdump tool's disassembler is now also able to use colors to
distinguish differents parts of each instruction. This feature
is only supported by a limited set of architectures at the
moment.
* The linker (ld) has a new command line option to disable the
generation of warning and error messages. This can be useful
when it is known that the link will not be successful, but there
is still a need to create a binary.

binutils: update to 2.39.
This release contains numerous bug fixes, and also the following new
features:
* The ELF linker will now generate a warning message if the stack is made
executable. Similarly it will warn if the output binary contains a
segment with all three of the read, write and execute permission
bits set. These warnings are intended to help developers identify
programs which might be vulnerable to attack via these executable
memory regions.
The warnings are enabled by default but can be disabled via a command
line option. It is also possible to build a linker with the warnings
disabled, should that be necessary.
* The ELF linker now supports a --package-metadata option that allows
embedding a JSON payload in accordance to the Package Metadata
specification.
* In linker scripts it is now possible to use TYPE=<type> in an output
section description to set the section type value.
* The objdump program now supports coloured/colored syntax
highlighting of its disassembler output for some architectures.
(Currently: AVR, RiscV, s390, x86, x86_64).
* The nm program now supports a --no-weak/-W option to make it ignore
weak symbols.
* The readelf and objdump programs now support a -wE option to prevent
them from attempting to access debuginfod servers when following
links.
* The objcopy program's --weaken, --weaken-symbol, and
--weaken-symbols options now works with unique symbols as well.

binutils: update to 2.38.
This release contains numerous bug fixes and improvements, along with
the following new features:
Assembler:
General:
* Add support for the LoongArch architecture.
* Add an option to control how multibyte characters are handled in
the assembler. Using the option warnings can be generated when
such characters are encountered in symbol names, or anywhere in
the input source file(s).
AArch64 and ARM:
* Add support for more system registers.
* Add support for Scalable Matrix Extension.
* Add support for Cortex-R52+, Cortex-A510, Cortex-A710,
Cortex-X2, Cortex-A710 cores.
* Add support for 'v8.7-a', 'v8.8-a', 'v9-a', 'v9.1-a',
'armv9.2-a' and 'armv9.3-a' architecture extensions.
X86:
* Add a command-line option to encode aligned vector move as
unaligned vector move.
* Add support for Intel AVX512_FP16 instructions.
* The outputs of .ds.x directive and .tfloat directive with hex
input have been reduced from 12 bytes to 10 bytes to match the
output of .tfloat directive.
Linker:
* Add support for the LoongArch architecture.
* Add -z pack-relative-relocs/-z no pack-relative-relocs to x86 ELF
linker to pack relative relocations in the DT_RELR section.
* Add -z indirect-extern-access/-z noindirect-extern-access to x86
ELF linker to control canonical function pointers and copy
relocation.
Other Binary Tools:
* elfedit: Add --output-abiversion option to update ABIVERSION.
* Tools which display symbols or strings (readelf, strings, nm,
objdump) have a new command line option which controls how unicode
characters are handled. By default they are treated as normal for
the tool. Using --unicode=locale will display them according to
the current locale. Using --unicode=hex will display them as hex
byte values, whilst --unicode=escape will display them as escape
sequences. In addition using --unicode=highlight will display
them as unicode escape sequences highlighted in red (if supported
by the output device).
* readelf -r dumps RELR relative relocations now.
* Support for efi-app-aarch64, efi-rtdrv-aarch64 and
efi-bsdrv-aarch64 has been added to objcopy in order to enable
UEFI development using binutils.
* ar: Add --thin for creating thin archives. -T is a deprecated
alias without diagnostics. In many ar implementations -T has a
different meaning, as specified by X/Open System Interface.

binutils: update to 2.37.
This release contains numerous bug fixes, and also the following
new features:
* The GNU Binutils sources now requires a C99 compiler and library to
build.
* Support for the arm-symbianelf format has been removed.
* Support for Realm Management Extension (RME) for AArch64 has been
added.
* A new linker option '-z report-relative-reloc' for x86 ELF targets
has been added to report dynamic relative relocations.
* A new linker option '-z start-stop-gc' has been added to disable
special treatment of __start_*/__stop_* references when
--gc-sections.
* A new linker options '-Bno-symbolic' has been added which will
cancel the '-Bsymbolic' and '-Bsymbolic-functions' options.
* The readelf tool has a new command line option which can be used to
specify how the numeric values of symbols are reported.
--sym-base=0|8|10|16 tells readelf to display the values in base 8,
base 10 or base 16. A sym base of 0 represents the default action
of displaying values under 10000 in base 10 and values above that in
base 16.
* A new format has been added to the nm program. Specifying
'--format=just-symbols' (or just using -j) will tell the program to
only display symbol names and nothing else.
* A new command line option '--keep-section-symbols' has been added to
objcopy and strip. This stops the removal of unused section symbols
when the file is copied. Removing these symbols saves space, but
sometimes they are needed by other tools.
* The '--weaken', '--weaken-symbol' and '--weaken-symbols' options
supported by objcopy now make undefined symbols weak on targets that
support weak symbols.
* Readelf and objdump can now display and use the contents of .debug_sup
sections.
* Readelf and objdump will now follow links to separate debug info
files by default. This behaviour can be stopped via the use of the
new '-wN' or '--debug-dump=no-follow-links' options for readelf and
the '-WN' or '--dwarf=no-follow-links' options for objdump. Also
the old behaviour can be restored by the use of the
'--enable-follow-debug-links=no' configure time option.
The semantics of the =follow-links option have also been slightly
changed. When enabled, the option allows for the loading of symbol
tables and string tables from the separate files which can be used
to enhance the information displayed when dumping other sections,
but it does not automatically imply that information from the
separate files should be displayed.
If other debug section display options are also enabled (eg
'--debug-dump=info') then the contents of matching sections in both
the main file and the separate debuginfo file *will* be displayed.
This is because in most cases the debug section will only be present
in one of the files.
If however non-debug section display options are enabled (eg
'--sections') then the contents of matching parts of the separate
debuginfo file will *not* be displayed. This is because in most
cases the user probably only wanted to load the symbol information
from the separate debuginfo file. In order to change this behaviour
a new command line option --process-links can be used. This will
allow di0pslay options to applied to both the main file and any
separate debuginfo files.
* Nm has a new command line option: '--quiet'. This suppresses "no
symbols" diagnostic.

binutils: Improve gas/gld handling and cleanup. Add a new "disable-ld" option that disables ld. This is required on Darwin where it is not currently built, but is also required for some SunOS setups where an external GCC is used and we do not want a libgcc dependency on it. There are now two ld-related PLIST variables, "gld" for the general handling of whether GNU ld is built or not, and "ld" for the symlinks we create. In addition Darwin also needs --disable-libctf to avoid a build issue, and an additional PLIST variable to handle GNU as which is also not built on Darwin. While here clean up a bunch of variable handling and NetBSD 5/6 workarounds, and simplify the setup of SYMLINK_FILES. Fixes build on Darwin, and SunOS when using an external GCC. Ok fcambus@

binutils: Fix PLIST.ld The way this is managed is gld is still installed, it's just that we do not create the ld -> gld symlinks on SunOS so that it is not accidentally used depending on the $PATH. This may need tweaking for Darwin, but it's less critical there.

binutils: update to 2.36.
Changes in 2.36:
* Update elfedit and readelf with LAM_U48 and LAM_U57 support.
* Nm has a new command line option: --ifunc-chars=CHARS. This specifies a
string of one or two characters. The first character is used as the type
character when displaying global ifunc symbols. The second character, if
present is used when displaying local ifunc symbols.
In addition a new configure time option --enable-f-for-ifunc-symbols has been
created, which if used will change nm's default characters for ifunc symbols
from i (both local and global) to F (global) and f (local).
* The ar tool's previously unused l modifier is now used for specifying
dependencies of a static library. The arguments of this option
(or --record-libdeps long form option) will be stored verbatim in the
__.LIBDEP member of the archive, which the linker may read at link time.
* Readelf can now display the contents of LTO symbol table sections when asked
to do so via the --lto-syms command line option.
* Readelf now accepts the -C command line option to enable the demangling of
symbol names. In addition the --demangle=<style>, --no-demangle,
--recurse-limit and --no-recurse-limit options are also now availale.
* Add support for the SHF_GNU_RETAIN ELF section flag.
This flag specifies that the section should not be garbage collected by the
linker.
gas changes in 2.36:
* Add support for Intel AVX VNNI instructions.
* Add support for Intel HRESET instruction.
* Add support for Intel UINTR instructions.
* Support non-absolute segment values for i386 lcall and ljmp.
* When setting the link order attribute of ELF sections, it is now possible to
use a numeric section index instead of symbol name.
* Add support for Cortex-A78, Cortex-A78AE, Cortex-A78C and Cortex-X1 for
AArch64 and ARM.
Add support for Cortex-R82, Neoverse V1, and Neoverse N2 for ARM.
* Add support for ETMv4 (Embedded Trace Macrocell), ETE (Embedded Trace
Extension), TRBE (Trace Buffer Extension)and BRBE (Branch Record Buffer
Extension) system registers for AArch64.
* Add support for Armv8-R and Armv8.7-A AArch64.
* Add support for DSB memory nXS barrier, WFET and WFIT instruction for Armv8.7
AArch64.
* Add support for +flagm feature for -march in Armv8.4 AArch64.
* Add support for +ls64 feature for -march in Armv8.7 AArch64. Add atomic
64-byte load/store instructions for this feature.
* Add support for +pauth (Pointer Authentication) feature for -march in
AArch64.
* Add support for Intel TDX instructions.
* Add support for Intel Key Locker instructions.
* Added a .nop directive to generate a single no-op instruction in a target
neutral manner. This instruction does have an effect on DWARF line number
generation, if that is active.
* Removed --reduce-memory-overheads and --hash-size as gas now
uses hash tables that can be expand and shrink automatically.
* Add {disp16} pseudo prefix to x86 assembler.
* Add support for Intel AMX instructions.
* Configure with --enable-x86-used-note by default for Linux/x86.
* Add support for the SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag, which can be applied to
sections using the 'R' flag in the .section directive.
SHF_GNU_RETAIN specifies that the section should not be garbage
collected by the linker. It requires the GNU or FreeBSD ELF OSABIs.
ld changes in 2.36:
* Add libdep plugin, for linking dependencies of static libraries that
were recorded by ar in the __.LIBDEP archive member.
* Add --error-handling-script=<NAME> command line option to allow a helper
script to be invoked when an undefined symbol or a missing library is
encountered. This option can be suppressed via the configure time
switch: --enable-error-handling-script=no.
* Add -z lam-u48 to x86-64 ELF linker to generate LAM_U48 property.
* Add -z lam-u57 to x86-64 ELF linker to enerate LAM_U57 property.
* Add -z lam-u48-report=[none|warning|error] to report missing LAM_U48
property.
* Add -z lam-u57-report=[none|warning|error] to report missing LAM_U57
property.
* Add -z lam-report=[none|warning|error] to report missing LAM_U48 and
LAM_U57 properties.
* Add -z x86-64-{baseline|v[234]} to the x86 ELF linker to mark
x86-64-{baseline|v[234]} ISA level as needed.
* Add -z unique-symbol to avoid duplicated local symbol names.
* The creation of PE format DLLs now defaults to using a more secure set of DLL
characteristics.
* The linker now deduplicates the types in .ctf sections. The new
command-line option --ctf-share-types describes how to do this:
its default value, share-unconflicted, produces the most compact
output.
* The linker now omits the "variable section" from .ctf sections by
default, saving space. This is almost certainly what you want
unless you are working on a project that has its own analogue
of symbol tables that are not reflected in the ELF symtabs.
* Add support for the SHF_GNU_RETAIN ELF section flag.
This flag specifies that the section should not be garbage collected by the
linker.

binutils: update to 2.35.1. Looks OK to kamil@ Changes in 2.35: * Changed readelf's display of symbol names when wide mode is not enabled. If the name is too long it will be truncated and the last five characters replaced with "[...]". The old behaviour of displaying 5 more characters but not indicating that truncation has happened can be restored by the use of the -T or --silent-truncation options. * X86 NaCl target support is removed. * The readelf tool now has a -L or --lint or --enable-checks option which turns on warning messages about possible problems with the file(s) being examined. These checks include things like zero-sized sections, which are allowed by the ELF standard but which nevertheless might be of concern if the user was expecting them to actually contain something.

binutils: Handle broken 2.34 release without docs. The binutils project released the binutils-2.34 tarball without pre-generated documentation included due to a bug in their Makefiles. This was fixed in the source code 2 months ago, but they still have not issued a new tarball since then, either via a new release or a snapshot. Building the documentation ourselves is untenable, as it would require pulling in perl and gtexinfo which would create major circular dependency headaches. So we're left with no option but to remove the documentation completely until there is a new release. Note that until now we've actually been shipping empty files, as we were ignoring perl errors that were trying to create the docs. While here tidy up a few things. Bump PKGREVISION.

devel/binutils: update to 2.34 pkgsrc changes: MAKE_JOBS_SAFE=no has been removed since binutils built fine with MAKE_JOBS=3 on NetBSD-8.0-x86_64. In some of the patches, all context lines have been removed since the raw change is expressive enough without any context. The patch for popcount is no longer necessary since the function has been renamed in bfd. upstream changes since 2.26: Changes in 2.34: * Binutils now supports debuginfod, an HTTP server for distributing ELF/DWARF debugging information as well as source code. When built with debuginfod, readelf and objdump can automatically query debuginfod servers for separate debug files when they otherwise cannot be found. To build binutils with debuginfod, pass --with-debuginfod to configure. This requires libdebuginfod, the debuginfod client library. debuginfod is distributed with elfutils, starting with version 0.178. For more information see https://sourceware.org/elfutils. * Add --output option to the "ar" program. This option can be used to specify the output directory when extracting members from an archive. * Add --keep-section option to objcopy and strip. This option keeps the specified section from being removed. * Add visualization of jumps inside a function by drawing an ascii character graph between the address and the disassembler column. Enabled via the --visualize-jumps command line option for objdump. Currently supported by the x86, x86_64, and ARM targets. The output looks something like this: c6: | | \----------> be 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%esi cb: | | /----> 48 8b 3d 00 00 00 00 mov 0x0(%rip),%rdi # d2 <main+0xd2> d2: | | | 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax d4: | | | /-- e8 00 00 00 00 callq d9 <main+0xd9> d9: | | | \-> bf 02 00 00 00 mov $0x2,%edi de: | +-----------|----- e8 00 00 00 00 callq e3 <main+0xe3> e3: | \-----------|----> 48 89 da mov %rbx,%rdx e6: | | be 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%esi eb: | \----- eb de jmp cb <main+0xcb> ed: \-------------------> 48 8b 16 mov (%rsi),%rdx Additional arguments to the --visualize-jumps option add colors to the output. Changes in 2.33: * Add --source-comment[=<txt>] option to objdump which if present, provides a prefix to source code lines displayed in a disassembly. * Add --set-section-alignment <section-name>=<align> option to objcopy to allow the changing of section alignments. * Add --verilog-data-width option to objcopy for verilog targets to control width of data elements in verilog hex format. * Add support for the Armv8.1-M Mainline and M-profile Vector Extension (MVE) instructions. * The separate debug info file options of readelf (--debug-dump=links and --debug-dump=follow) and objdump (--dwarf=links and --dwarf=follow-links) will now display and/or follow multiple links if more than one are present in a file. (This usually happens when gcc's -gsplit-dwarf option is used). In addition objdump's --dwarf=follow-links now also affects its other display options, so that for example, when combined with --syms it will cause the symbol tables in any linked debug info files to also be displayed. In addition when combined with --disassemble the --dwarf= follow-links option will ensure that any symbol tables in the linked files are read and used when disassembling code in the main file. * Add support for dumping types encoded in the Compact Type Format to objdump and readelf. Changes in 2.32: * The addr2line, c++filt, nm and objdump tools now have a limit on the maximum amount of recursion that is allowed whilst demangling strings. The value for this limit is defined by the DEMANGLE_RECRUSE_LIMIT constant declared in the include/demangle.h header file. At the time of writing this constant has the value of 2048. The --no-recurse-limit option can be used to remove the limit, restoring the behaviour of earlier versions of these tools. This may be needed in order to dmangle truly complicated names, but it also leaves the tools vulnerable to stack exhaustion from maliciously constructed mangled names. * Objdump's --disassemble option can now take a parameter, specifying the starting symbol for disassembly. Disassembly will continue from this symbol up to the next symbol or the end of the function. * The MIPS port now supports the Loongson 2K1000 processor which implements the MIPS64r2 ISA, the Loongson-mmi ASE, Loongson-cam ASE, Loongson-ext ASE, Loongson-ext2 ASE and MSA ASE instructions. Add -march=gs264e option for Loongson 2K1000 processor. * The MIPS port now supports the Loongson 3A2000/3A3000 processor which implements the MIPS64r2 ISA, the Loongson-mmi ASE, Loongson-cam ASE, Loongson-ext ASE and Loongson-ext2 ASE instructions. Add -march=gs464e option for Loongson 3A2000/3A3000 processor. * The MIPS port now supports the Loongson 3A1000 processor, aka Loongson3a, which implements the MIPS64r2 ISA, the Loongson-mmi ASE, Loongson-cam ASE and Loongson-ext ASE instructions. Add -march=gs464 option for Loongson 3A1000 processor, The -march=loongson3a is an alias of -march=gs464 for compatibility. * The size tool now has a new output format '--format=GNU' or '-G'. The results are displayed in a similar manor to the default berkeley layout, except read-only data is counted in the data column, not the text column. Additionally the total is only included once. Changes in 2.31: * Add support for disassembling netronome Flow Processor (NFP) firmware files. * The AArch64 port now supports showing disassembly notes which are emitted when inconsistencies are found with the instruction that may result in the instruction being invalid. These can be turned on with the option -M notes to objdump. * The AArch64 port now emits warnings when a combination of an instruction and a named register could be invalid. * Added O modifier to ar to display member offsets inside an archive Changes in 2.30: * Add --debug-dump=links option to readelf and --dwarf=links option to objdump which displays the contents of any .gnu_debuglink or .gnu_debugaltlink sections. Add a --debug-dump=follow-links option to readelf and a --dwarf=follow-links option to objdump which causes indirect links into separate debug info files to be followed when dumping other DWARF sections. Changes in 2.29: * The MIPS port now supports microMIPS eXtended Physical Addressing (XPA) instructions for assembly and disassembly. * The MIPS port now supports the microMIPS Release 5 ISA for assembly and disassembly. * The MIPS port now supports the Imagination interAptiv MR2 processor, which implements the MIPS32r3 ISA, the MIPS16e2 ASE as well as a couple of implementation-specific regular MIPS and MIPS16e2 ASE instructions. * The SPARC port now supports the SPARC M8 processor, which implements the Oracle SPARC Architecture 2017. * The MIPS port now supports the MIPS16e2 ASE for assembly and disassembly. * Add support for ELF SHF_GNU_MBIND and PT_GNU_MBIND_XXX. * Add support for the wasm32 ELF conversion of the WebAssembly file format. * Add --inlines option to objdump, which extends the --line-numbers option so that inlined functions will display their nesting information. * Add --merge-notes options to objcopy to reduce the size of notes in a binary file by merging and deleting redundant notes. * Add support for locating separate debug info files using the build-id method, where the separate file has a name based upon the build-id of the original file. Changes in 2.28: * This version of binutils fixes a problem with PowerPC VLE 16A and 16D relocations which were functionally swapped, for example, R_PPC_VLE_HA16A performed like R_PPC_VLE_HA16D while R_PPC_VLE_HA16D performed like R_PPC_VLE_HA16A. This could have been fixed by renumbering relocations, which would keep object files created by an older version of gas compatible with a newer ld. However, that would require an ABI update, affecting other assemblers and linkers that create and process the relocations correctly. It is recommended that all VLE object files be recompiled, but ld can modify the relocations if --vle-reloc-fixup is passed to ld. If the new ld command-line option is not used, ld will ld warn on finding relocations inconsistent with the instructions being relocated. * The nm program has a new command-line option (--with-version-strings) which will display a symbol's version information, if any, after the symbol's name. * The ARC port of objdump now accepts a -M option to specify the extra instruction class(es) that should be disassembled. * The --remove-section option for objcopy and strip now accepts section patterns starting with an exclamation point to indicate a non-matching section. A non-matching section is removed from the set of sections matched by an earlier --remove-section pattern. * The --only-section option for objcopy now accepts section patterns starting with an exclamation point to indicate a non-matching section. A non-matching section is removed from the set of sections matched by an earlier --only-section pattern. * New --remove-relocations=SECTIONPATTERN option for objcopy and strip. This option can be used to remove sections containing relocations. The SECTIONPATTERN is the section to which the relocations apply, not the relocation section itself. Changes in 2.27: * Add a configure option, --enable-64-bit-archive, to force use of a 64-bit format when creating an archive symbol index. * Add --elf-stt-common= option to objcopy for ELF targets to control whether to convert common symbols to the STT_COMMON type.

Sort PLIST files. Unsorted entries in PLIST files have generated a pkglint warning for at least 12 years. Somewhat more recently, pkglint has learned to sort PLIST files automatically. Since pkglint 5.4.23, the sorting is only done in obvious, simple cases. These have been applied by running: pkglint -Cnone,PLIST -Wnone,plist-sort -r -F

--strip-unneeded-symbols, namely for use together with the wildcard
matching the original --strip-symbol/--strip-symbols provided, but
retaining any symbols matching but needed by relocations.
* readelf can now display address ranges from .debug_range sections. This
happens automatically when a DW_AT_range attribute is encountered. The
command line switch --debug-dump=Ranges (or -wR) can also be used to display
the contents of the .debug_range section.
* nm and objdump now have a switch "--special-syms" to enable the displaying of
symbols which the target considers to be special. By default these symbols
are no longer displayed. Currently the only special symbols are the Mapping
symbols used by the ARM port to mark transitions between text and data and
between ARM and THUMB code.
* dlltool has a switch "--ext-prefix-alias <prefix>" to generate additional
import and export symbols with <preifx> prepended to them.
Changes in gas:
* Redefinition of macros now results in an error.
* New command line option -mhint.b=[ok|warning|error] for IA64 targets.
* New command line option -munwind-check=[warning|error] for IA64
targets.
* The IA64 port now uses automatic dependency violation removal as its default
mode.
* Port to MAXQ processor contributed by HCL Tech.
* Added support for generating unwind tables for ARM ELF targets.
* Add a -g command line option to generate debug information in the target's
preferred debug format.
* Support for the crx-elf target added.
* Support for the sh-symbianelf target added.
* Added a pseudo-op (.secrel32) to generate 32 bit section relative relocations
on pe[i]-i386; required for this target's DWARF 2 support.
* Support for Motorola MCF521x/5249/547x/548x added.
* Support for ColdFire EMAC instructions added and Motorola syntax for MAC/EMAC
instrucitons.
* New command line option -mno-shared for MIPS ELF targets.
* New command line option --alternate and pseudo-ops .altmacro and .noaltmacro
added to enter (and leave) alternate macro syntax mode.
Changes in ld:
* Support for the R_ARM_V4BX relocation as defined in the ARM AAELF
specification has been added via the --fix-v4bx command-line option.
* New linker script construct AS_NEEDED(), which sets the --as-needed flag
for input files listed inside of it.
* A new command-line option, --sysroot, can be used to override the
default sysroot location. It only applies to toolchains that were
configured using --with-sysroot.
* New linker script functions: ORIGIN() and LENGTH() which return information
about a specified memory region.
* Port to MAXQ processor contributed by HCL Tech.
* Added SEGMENT_START to the linker script language to permit the user to
override the base address for a segment from the command-line.
* ELF: --warn-shared-textrel option to warn if adding a DT_TEXTREL to a shared
object.
* Added SORT_BY_NAME and SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT to the linker script
language to permit sorting sections by section name or section
maximum alignment.
* Added a new linker command line switch, --sort-section name|alignment,
to sort sections by section name or maximum alignment.
* ELF: --add-needed/--no-add-needed options to control if a DT_NEEDED tag
should be added when a shared library comes from DT_NEEDED tags.
* Support for the crx-elf target added.
* Support for the sh-symbianelf target added.
* A new linker command line switch has been added which allows the hash table
size to be set to a suitable prime value near to its argument. This switch
is --hash-size=<NUMBER>. Also if the switch --reduce-memory-overheads is
used, and --hash-size has not been used, then the default value will be set
to 1021.
* Linker map files are now generated with an O(N) algorithm for finding symbols
that are defined in each section. This uses about 40% more memory for
symbols than the old O(N^2) algorithm. You can use the new
--reduce-memory-overheads option to select the old algorithm; this option
might also be used in the future to select similar tradeoffs.

Mechanical changes to package PLISTs to make use of LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST. All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed in the PLIST, e.g., instead of: lib/libfoo.a lib/libfoo.la lib/libfoo.so lib/libfoo.so.0 lib/libfoo.so.0.1 one simply needs: lib/libfoo.la and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file. Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".

Update to binutils "2.14.0.0". (The ".0.0" is to allow any PKGREVISION
bumps to correctly sort before "2.14.1", and "2.14.1.1", and so on.)
Follows is a list of additions to the "NEWS" files since 2.13. The "NEWS"
files were apparently not updated for "2.13.2.1" however, so all of this
is not really new. The "--with-sysroot" and "--with-lib-path" configure
options for "ld" are truly new, though, and the package now takes advantage
of "--with-lib-path" to prevent picking up crud from "${PREFIX}/lib", to
better support using this "ld" with which to build pkgsrc packages.
----- binutils/binutils/NEWS -----
* Added --info switch to objcopy and strip.
* Support for Vitesse IQ2000 added by Red Hat.
* Added 'S' encoding to strings to allow the display of 8-bit characters.
* Added --prefix-symbols=<text>, --prefix-sections=<text> and
--prefix-alloc-sections=<text> to objcopy.
* readelf can handle the extensions to the DWARF2 spec used by the Unified
Parallel C compiler.
* BFD no longer declares a "boolean" type, to avoid clashes with other
headers that declare the same. Users of BFD should replace boolean,
false and true, with int, 0 and 1, or define their own boolean type.
* Support for IP2K added by Denis Chertykov.
----- binutils/gas/NEWS -----
* Added support for MIPS32 Release 2.
* Added support for Xtensa architecture.
* Support for Intel's iWMMXt processor (an ARM variant) added.
* An assembler test generator has been contributed and an example file that
uses it (gas/testsuite/gas/all/test-gen.c and test-exmaple.c).
* Support for SH2E added.
* GASP has now been removed.
* Support for Texas Instruments TMS320C4x and TMS320C3x series of
DSP's contributed by Michael Hayes and Svein E. Seldal.
* Support for the Ubicom IP2xxx microcontroller added.
----- binutils/ld/NEWS -----
* Added support for Xtensa architecture.
* Added --with-sysroot configure switch to specify a target system root, for
linking against a target filesystem image.
* Added --accept-unknown-linker-format to restore old linker behaviour (pre
2.14) of silently accepting and linking in any files in an unknown binary
file format.
* Added --no-omagic to undo the effects of the -N option.
* Support for Texas Instruments TMS320C4x and TMS320C3x series of
DSP's contributed by Michael Hayes and Svein E. Seldal.
* Added --with-lib-path configure switch to specify default value for
LIB_PATH.
* ARM port to QNX operating system added by Graeme Peterson.
* IP2K support added by Denis Chertykov.

Dont' try to register "configure.info" and "standards.info". I'd already removed every other trace of these files from the package, so as not to conflict with "autoconf", but I missed these two "@exec"'s.

Update binutils to 2.13.2.1. "gasp" is gone; "strings" accepts an argument of "--encoding", to help it to look for wide strings; plus a few other obscure additions. Most importantly, "gas" now generates correct code when used with gcc-3.x at high optimization levels. (See gcc bugzilla: optimization/10877.)
