binutils-2.25.1

[bdubbs@…]

New point version. These are the fixes I found:

Fix powerpc gas abort on invalid instruction fixups
Make powerpc bfd ld reloc overflow vs undefined symbols match gold
powerpc: Add slbfee. instruction
powerpc: Only initialise opcode indices once
Rewrite relro adjusting code
Align .TOC. for PowerPC64
Non-alloc sections don't belong in PT_LOAD segments
Add hwsync extended mnemonic.
ppc476 linker workaround shared lib fixes
Remove unused MTMSRD_L macro and re-add accidentally deleted comment.
ppc476 linker workaround shared lib fixes again
Allow for optional operands with non-zero default values.
PPC sync instruction accepts invalid and incompatible operands
Remove ppc860, ppc750cl, ppc7450 insns from common ppc.
Fix an opd->adjust index in elf64-ppc.c

Looks like mostly PPC issues.

Each component has its own ChangeLog (bfd, opcodes, ld, etc)

This might be more useful. There are more than just PowerPC fixes.

OK, but if you remove the entries that say:

Automatic date update in version.in

the number of changes since the last release is not large. And those seem to be dominated by PPC. I did notice a couple for AArch64.
