Description
New version. I can't find a release announcement anywhere, and trawling through 26 months of ChangeLog entries for gas, ld et al doesn't seem like much fun. The last thing I heard about binutils development was 'gold' (see http://lwn.net/Articles/274859/) but I don't know whether that's been merged and/or made the default linker in this release.

Replying to jhuntwork@linuxfromscratch.org:
I assume you mean 2.19 since 2.18 has been in the book for quite a while already. Changing the ticket summary to match...
Oh, I see, so we're fixing bugs in bug reports now ;) Thanks for the catch Jeremy.

You could find summary on toolchain changes at http://nickclifton.livejournal.com/
Related to gold, you probably will still see for some times the "Improve gold" entry in changelog like in http://lwn.net/Articles/302339/ And as gold is a C++ program, this has some deep impact for the toolchain build.

Thanks, Gesp. As always, Greg "Toolchain" Schafer is ahead of us on this one as well - some useful comments are at http://www.diy-linux.org/pipermail/diy-linux-dev/2008-October/001308.html.
