2021-05-13binutils: backport DWARF-5 support for goldMartin Jansa
* DWARF-5 is now used by default with gcc-11, causing 11.1.0/ld: internal error in format_file_lineno, at ../../gold/dwarf_reader.cc:2278 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status in various projects (runc-opencontainers, libhybris, collada-dom) * https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-11/changes.html For targets that produce DWARF debugging information GCC now defaults to DWARF version 5 (with the exception of VxWorks and Darwin/Mac OS X which default to version 2 and AIX which defaults to version 4). This can produce up to 25% more compact debug information compared to earlier versions. To take full advantage of DWARF version 5 GCC needs to be build against binutils version 2.35.2 or higher. When GCC is build against earlier versions of binutils GCC will still emit DWARF version 5 for most debuginfo data, but will generate version 4 debug line tables (even when explicitly given -gdwarf-5). The following debug information consumers can process DWARF version 5: GDB 8.0, or higher valgrind 3.17.0 elfutils 0.172, or higher (for use with systemtap, dwarves/pahole, perf and libabigail) dwz 0.14 Programs embedding libbacktrace are urged to upgrade to the version shipping with GCC 11. To make GCC 11 generate an older DWARF version use -g together with -gdwarf-2, -gdwarf-3 or -gdwarf-4.

2021-04-18binutils: rename BRANCH varArmin Kuster
If BRANCH is defined in local.conf then that name is used to d/l sources for binutils. You will get this error: Fetcher failure for URL: 'git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git;branch=hardknott;protocol=git'. Unable to fetch URL from any source. Rename to SRCBRANCH like glibc has to avoid the more common variable name BRANCH.
