This update for binutils fixes the following issues :

binutils was updated to version 2.35. (jsc#ECO-2373)

Update to binutils 2.35 :

  - The assembler can now produce DWARF-5 format line number     tables.

  - Readelf now has a 'lint' mode to enable extra checks of     the files it is processing.

  - Readelf will now display '[...]' when it has to truncate     a symbol name. The old behaviour - of displaying as many     characters as possible, up to the 80 column limit - can     be restored by the use of the --silent-truncation     option.

  - The linker can now produce a dependency file listing the     inputs that it has processed, much like the -M -MP     option supported by the compiler.

  - fix DT_NEEDED order with -flto [bsc#1163744]

Update to binutils 2.34 :

  - The disassembler (objdump --disassemble) now has an     option to generate ascii art thats show the arcs between     that start and end points of control flow instructions.

  - The binutils tools now have support for debuginfod.
    Debuginfod is a HTTP service for distributing ELF/DWARF     debugging information as well as source code. The tools     can now connect to debuginfod servers in order to     download debug information about the files that they are     processing.

  - The assembler and linker now support the generation of     ELF format files for the Z80 architecture.

  - Add new subpackages for libctf and libctf-nobfd.

  - Disable LTO due to bsc#1163333.

  - Includes fixes for these CVEs: bsc#1153768 aka     CVE-2019-17451 aka PR25070 bsc#1153770 aka     CVE-2019-17450 aka PR25078

  - fix various build fails on aarch64 (PR25210,     bsc#1157755).

Update to binutils 2.33.1 :

  - Adds support for the Arm Scalable Vector Extension     version 2 (SVE2) instructions, the Arm Transactional     Memory Extension (TME) instructions and the Armv8.1-M     Mainline and M-profile Vector Extension (MVE)     instructions.

  - Adds support for the Arm Cortex-A76AE, Cortex-A77 and     Cortex-M35P processors and the AArch64 Cortex-A34,     Cortex-A65, Cortex-A65AE, Cortex-A76AE, and Cortex-A77     processors.

  - Adds a .float16 directive for both Arm and AArch64 to     allow encoding of 16-bit floating point literals.

  - For MIPS, Add -m[no-]fix-loongson3-llsc option to fix     (or not) Loongson3 LLSC Errata. Add a
    --enable-mips-fix-loongson3-llsc=[yes|no] configure time     option to set the default behavior. Set the default if     the configure option is not used to 'no'.

  - The Cortex-A53 Erratum 843419 workaround now supports a     choice of which workaround to use. The option
    --fix-cortex-a53-843419 now takes an optional argument
    --fix-cortex-a53-843419[=full|adr|adrp] which can be     used to force a particular workaround to be used. See
    --help for AArch64 for more details.

  - Add support for GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI and     GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_PAC in ELF GNU program     properties in the AArch64 ELF linker. 

  - Add -z force-bti for AArch64 to enable     GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI on output while     warning about missing GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI     on inputs and use PLTs protected with BTI.

  - Add -z pac-plt for AArch64 to pick PAC enabled PLTs.

  - Add --source-comment[=<txt>] option to objdump which if     present, provides a prefix to source code lines     displayed in a disassembly.

  - Add --set-section-alignment     <section-name>=<power-of-2-align> option to objcopy to     allow the changing of section alignments.

  - Add --verilog-data-width option to objcopy for verilog     targets to control width of data elements in verilog hex     format.

  - The separate debug info file options of readelf     (--debug-dump=links and --debug-dump=follow) and objdump     (--dwarf=links and

    --dwarf=follow-links) will now display and/or follow     multiple links if more than one are present in a file.
    (This usually happens when gcc's -gsplit-dwarf option is     used). In addition objdump's --dwarf=follow-links now     also affects its other display options, so that for     example, when combined with

    --syms it will cause the symbol tables in any linked     debug info files to also be displayed. In addition when     combined with

    --disassemble the --dwarf= follow-links option will     ensure that any symbol tables in the linked files are     read and used when disassembling code in the main file.

  - Add support for dumping types encoded in the Compact     Type Format to objdump and readelf.

  - Includes fixes for these CVEs: bsc#1126826 aka     CVE-2019-9077 aka PR1126826 bsc#1126829 aka     CVE-2019-9075 aka PR1126829 bsc#1126831 aka     CVE-2019-9074 aka PR24235 bsc#1140126 aka CVE-2019-12972     aka PR23405 bsc#1143609 aka CVE-2019-14444 aka PR24829     bsc#1142649 aka CVE-2019-14250 aka PR90924

  - Add xBPF target

  - Fix various problems with DWARF 5 support in gas

  - fix nm -B for objects compiled with -flto and -fcommon.
