binutils-2.26

[bdubbs@…]

New minor version

binutils:
* Add option to objcopy to insert new symbols into a file:
  --add-symbol <name>=[<section>:]<value>[,<flags>]

* Add support for the ARC EM/HS, and ARC600/700 architectures.

* Extend objcopy --compress-debug-sections option to support
  --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi] for ELF
  targets.

* Add --update-section option to objcopy.

* Add --output-separator option to strings.
=========
gas
* Add a configure option --enable-compressed-debug-sections={all,gas} to
  decide whether DWARF debug sections should be compressed by default.

* Add support for the ARC EM/HS, and ARC600/700 architectures.  Remove
  assembler support for Argonaut RISC architectures.

 Symbol and label names can now be enclosed in double quotes (") which allows
  them to contain characters that are not part of valid symbol names in high
  level languages.

* Added the correctly spelled -march=armv6kz, for ARMv6KZ support.  The
  previous spelling, -march=armv6zk, is still accepted.

* Support for the ARMv8.1 architecture has been added to the Aarch64 port.
  Support for the individual ARMv8.1 Adv.SIMD, LOR and PAN architecture
  extensions has also been added to the Aarch64 port.

* Support for the ARMv8.1 architecture has been added to the ARM port.  Support
  for the individual ARMv8.1 Adv.SIMD and PAN architecture extensions has also
  been added to the ARM port.

* Extend --compress-debug-sections option to support
  --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi] for ELF
  targets.

* --compress-debug-sections is turned on for Linux/x86 by default.
========
ld
* Add --fix-stm32l4xx-629360 to the ARM linker to enable a link-time
  workaround for a bug in the bus matrix / memory controller for some of
  the STM32 Cortex-M4 based products (STM32L4xx)

* Add a configure option --enable-compressed-debug-sections={all,ld} to
  decide whether DWARF debug sections should be compressed by default.

* Add support for the ARC EM/HS, and ARC600/700 architectures.

* Experimental support for linker garbage collection (--gc-sections)
  has been enabled for COFF and PE based targets.

* New command line option for ELF targets to compress DWARF debug
  sections, --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi].

* New command line option, --orphan-handling=[place|warn|error|discard], to
  adjust how orphan sections are handled.  The default is 'place' which gives
  the current behaviour, 'warn' and 'error' issue a warning or error
  respectively when orphan sections are found, and 'discard' will discard all
  orphan sections.

* Add support for LLVM plugin.

* Add --print-memory-usage option to report memory blocks usage.

* Add --require-defined option, it's like --undefined except the new symbol
  must be defined by the end of the link.
