Topic
Updated devtoolset-2-binutils packages that fix several bugs and add various
enhancements are now available for Red Hat Developer Toolset 2.1.
Description
Binutils is a collection of binary utilities, including ar (for creating,
modifying and extracting from archives), as (a family of GNU assemblers), gprof
(for displaying call graph profile data), ld (the GNU linker), nm (for listing
symbols from object files), objcopy (for copying and translating object files),
objdump (for displaying information from object files), ranlib (for generating
an index for the contents of an archive), readelf (for displaying detailed
information about binary files), size (for listing the section sizes of an
object or archive file), strings (for listing printable strings from files),
strip (for discarding symbols), and addr2line (for converting addresses to file
and line). The devtoolset-2-binutils packages provide the Red Hat Developer
Toolset version of binutils.
The devtoolset-2-binutils packages have been upgraded to a later version that is
required by Red Hat Developer Toolset 2.1.
This update also fixes the following bugs:
- Prior to this update, binutils did not handle the ".eh_frame" sections in the
correct order. Consequently, "ld.gold" failed with an internal error when
emitting relocations to output as specified by the "-q" option. This bug has
been fixed, the ".eh_frame" sections are now handled before relocation sections
and the problem no longer occurs. (BZ#980613)
- Previously, the as(1) manual page incorrectly stated that the "-v" and
"-version" options had the same behavior. The manual page has been corrected to
describe that the "-v", "-verbose", and "--verbose" option causes the "as"
utility to print its version and then continue, whereas the "-version" and
"--version" option causes the "as" utility to print its version and exit.
(BZ#1038339)
Users of devtoolset-2-binutils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
