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