binutils 2.39: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2022-08/msg00002.html
binutils 2.40: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2023-01/msg00003.html
This version includes a new libsframe.so library, pack it into the
libbfd package as it is used by this library. Also deactivate some
optional configuration options for now.
An extra patch to fix compile problem in AARCH64 is added.
gprofng needs a C++ standard library, deactivate it for now.
Activate feature-disassembler-init-styled in bpftools too to fix
compilation with the updated binutils.
An bpftool version 7.0 or later is needed for binutils 2.39 and later.

This reverts commit cc24c4ed5e.
binutils does not compile with glibc:
Package binutils is missing dependencies for the following libraries:
libgprofng.so.0
libmsgpackc.so.2
libstdc++.so.6
libbpf does not compile against binutils 2.39 any more, see:

Changes:
* The ELF linker will now generate a warning message if the stack is made
executable. Similarly it will warn if the output binary contains a
segment with all three of the read, write and execute permission
bits set. These warnings are intended to help developers identify
programs which might be vulnerable to attack via these executable
memory regions.
The warnings are enabled by default but can be disabled via a command
line option. It is also possible to build a linker with the warnings
disabled, should that be necessary.
* The ELF linker now supports a --package-metadata option that allows
embedding a JSON payload in accordance to the Package Metadata
specification.
* In linker scripts it is now possible to use TYPE=<type> in an output
section description to set the section type value.
* The objdump program now supports coloured/colored syntax
highlighting of its disassembler output for some architectures.
(Currently: AVR, RiscV, s390, x86, x86_64).
* The nm program now supports a --no-weak/-W option to make it ignore
weak symbols.
* The readelf and objdump programs now support a -wE option to prevent
them from attempting to access debuginfod servers when following
links.
* The objcopy program's --weaken, --weaken-symbol, and
--weaken-symbols options now works with unique symbols as well.

Changelog:
Assembler:
General:
* Add support for the LoongArch architecture.
* Add an option to control how multibyte characters are handled in
the assembler. Using the option warnings can be generated when
such characters are encountered in symbol names, or anywhere in
the input source file(s).
AArch64 and ARM:
* Add support for more system registers.
* Add support for Scalable Matrix Extension.
* Add support for Cortex-R52+, Cortex-A510, Cortex-A710,
Cortex-X2, Cortex-A710 cores.
* Add support for 'v8.7-a', 'v8.8-a', 'v9-a', 'v9.1-a',
'armv9.2-a' and 'armv9.3-a' architecture extensions.
X86:
* Add a command-line option to encode aligned vector move as
unaligned vector move.
* Add support for Intel AVX512_FP16 instructions.
* The outputs of .ds.x directive and .tfloat directive with hex
input have been reduced from 12 bytes to 10 bytes to match the
output of .tfloat directive.
Linker:
* Add support for the LoongArch architecture.
* Add -z pack-relative-relocs/-z no pack-relative-relocs to x86 ELF
linker to pack relative relocations in the DT_RELR section.
* Add -z indirect-extern-access/-z noindirect-extern-access to x86
ELF linker to control canonical function pointers and copy
relocation.
Other Binary Tools:
* elfedit: Add --output-abiversion option to update ABIVERSION.
* Tools which display symbols or strings (readelf, strings, nm,
objdump) have a new command line option which controls how unicode
characters are handled. By default they are treated as normal for
the tool. Using --unicode=locale will display them according to
the current locale. Using --unicode=hex will display them as hex
byte values, whilst --unicode=escape will display them as escape
sequences. In addition using --unicode=highlight will display
them as unicode escape sequences highlighted in red (if supported
by the output device).
* readelf -r dumps RELR relative relocations now.
* Support for efi-app-aarch64, efi-rtdrv-aarch64 and
efi-bsdrv-aarch64 has been added to objcopy in order to enable
UEFI development using binutils.
* ar: Add --thin for creating thin archives. -T is a deprecated
alias without diagnostics. In many ar implementations -T has a
different meaning, as specified by X/Open System Interface.

Arch Linux users have encountered problems with packages that have a dependency on binutils. This error happens when libtool is doing:
libtool: relink: ...
So change PKG_FIXUP to "patch-libtool".
Fixes error in the form of:
libtool: install: error: relink `libctf.la' with the above command
before installing it

The libbfd package definition uses $(ICONV_DEPENDS) and $(INTL_DEPENDS)
but links against neither, leading to libbfd detection failures in other
packages (e.g. bpftools) and on-target relocation problems with libintl.so:
root@OpenWrt:/# ldd /usr/lib/libbfd.so
ldd (0x77db6000)
libc.so => ldd (0x77db6000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x77c6d000)
Error relocating /usr/lib/libbfd.so: libintl_dgettext: symbol not found
Add NLS-conditional linking of "libintl" to fix this. Also remove libbfd
package dependency $(ICONV_DEPENDS) which is not used during building or
linking.
Tested with QEMU on malta/be32, after building all packages from binutils,
bpftools and iproute2, using different libc options musl and glibc.

binutils 2.27 checks if the target compiler supports -Wstack-
usage=262144, and also uses this setting for the host compiler. If the
host compiler is gcc < 4.9 binutils build will fail. This backports 2
commits which are fixing this problem for binutils 2.28.
