An updated binutils package that fixes several bugs and adds support for
the .weakref assembler directive is now available.

Binutils is a collection of utilities used for the creation of executable code.

This updated package addresses the following issues:

* PowerPC symbol@tocbase and R_PPC64_TOC with non-zero symbol support
