An update that has two recommended fixes and contains three features can now be installed.

Description:

This update for binutils fixes the following issues:
Update binutils 2.35 branch to commit 1c5243df:

  • Fixes PR26520, aka [bsc#1179036], a problem in addr2line with certain DWARF variable descriptions.
  • Also fixes PR26711, PR26656, PR26655, PR26929, PR26808, PR25878, PR26740, PR26778, PR26763, PR26685, PR26699, PR26902, PR26869, PR26711
  • The above includes fixes for dwo files produced by modern dwp, fixing several problems in the DWARF reader.

Update binutils to 2.35.1 and rebased branch diff:
  • This is a point release over the previous 2.35 version, containing bug fixes, and as an exception to the usual rule, one new feature. The new feature is the support for a new directive in the assembler: ".nop". This directive creates a single no-op instruction in whatever encoding is correct for the target architecture. Unlike the .space or .fill this is a real instruction, and it does affect the generation of DWARF line number tables, should they be enabled. This fixes an incompatibility introduced in the latest update that broke the install scripts of the Oracle server. [bsc#1179341]
