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.
