 * summary:  binutils-2.43.90 (wait for 2.44.0) => binutils-2.44.0

Comment:

 Now 2.44.0.

   We are pleased to announce that version 2.44 of the GNU 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/

   In a change to our previous practice, in this release the
   binutils-2.44.tar tarball does not contain the sources for the gold
   linker.  This is because the gold linker is now deprecated and will
   eventually be removed unless volunteers step forward and offer to
   continue development and maintenance.

   The gold sources can be found in the binutils-with-gold-2.44.tar
   tarballs.  Going forward, odd numbered releases of the binutils (2.45,
   2.47, etc) will just have the binutils.2.xx.tar tarballs, whilst even
   numbered releases will have both the binutils-2.xx.tar and the
   binutils-with-gold-2.xx.tar tarballs.  Eventually this will stop and
   gold will be dropped altogether.

   These tarballs were made with the "-r <date>" option supported by
   the src-release.sh script.  This attempts to make reproducible
   tarballs by sorting the files and passing the "--mtime=<date>" option
   to tar.  The date used for these tarballs was obtained by running:
 {{{
      git log -1 --format=%cd --date=format:%F bfd/version.m4
 }}}
   This release contains numerous bug fixes, and also the following new
   features:

     Assembler:
       Support for new architecture extensions for AArch64, Risc-V and
       x86.

     Linker:
       The default maximum page size was changed from 16KiB to 64KiB for
       LoongArch.

       This now supports mixed LTO and non-LTO object files in
       relocatable output.

       The ELF forms of the linker support a --image-base=<ADDR> option
       for compatibility with LLD.

       The --build-id= option now accepts an argument of "xx" which
       enables the use of the xxhash library.  This produces a 128-bit
       hash and is 2-4x faster than md5 or sha1.

       The ELF linker option --package-metadata supports percent-encoded
       and %[string] encoded JSON payloads.

     Disassembler:
       The RISC-V disassembler now supports -M,max option like QEMU to
       dump instruction without checking architecture support as usual.

     GprofNG:
       Support added for hardware event counters for Neoverse-N1,
       Ampere-1, and Appliedmicro processors.

     Support for the Nios II target has been removed.
