Log message:
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.

Log message:
binutils: fix typo in comment.

Log message:

From upstream commit log:

PR28694, Out-of-bounds write in stab_xcoff_builtin_type

PR 28694

Log message:
devel: Remove SHA1 hashes for distfiles

Log message:
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.

Log message:
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@
