<br>
We are pleased to announce that version 2.30 of the Binutils project<br>
sources have been released and are now available for download at:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/<wbr>binutils</a><br>
<a href="https://sourceware.org/pub/binutils/releases/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sourceware.org/pub/<wbr>binutils/releases/</a><br>
<br>
This release contains numerous bug fixes, and also the<br>
following new features:<br>
<br>
In the assembler:<br>
<br>
* Add support for location views in DWARF debug line information.<br>
<br>
In the BFD linker:<br>
<br>
* Add -z separate-code to generate separate code PT_LOAD segment.<br>
<br>
* Add "-z undefs" command line option as the inverse of the "-z defs" option.<br>
<br>
* Add -z globalaudit command line option to force audit libraries to be run<br>
for every dynamic object loaded by an executable - provided that the loader<br>
supports this functionality.<br>
<br>
* Tighten linker script grammar around file name specifiers to prevent the use<br>
of SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT and SORT_BY_INIT_PRIORITY on filenames. These would<br>
previously be accepted but had no effect.<br>
<br>
* The EXCLUDE_FILE directive can now be placed within any SORT_* directive<br>
within input section lists.<br>
<br>
In the GOLD linker:<br>
<br>
* Add support for .MIPS.options sections (MIPS only).<br>
<br>
* Add support for compound relocations (MIPS only).<br>
<br>
* Add --emit-stub-syms, --no-tls-optimize, --tls-get-addr-optimize options<br>
(PowerPC only).<br>
<br>
* Add -z text-unlikely-segment option.<br>
<br>
* Add plugin support for adding new input files (LDPT_REGISTER_NEW_INPUT_HOOK)<wbr>.<br>
<br>
In the utilities:<br>
<br>
* Add --debug-dump=links option to readelf and --dwarf=links option to objdump<br>
which displays the contents of any .gnu_debuglink or .gnu_debugaltlink<br>
sections.<br>
<br>
* Add a --debug-dump=follow-links option to readelf and a --dwarf=follow-links<br>
option to objdump which causes indirect links into separate debug info files<br>
to be followed when dumping other DWARF sections.<br>
<br>
Our thanks go out to all of the binutils contributors, past and<br>
present, for helping to make this release possible.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
