Comment (by Bruce Dubbs):

 Changes in 2.46:

 * SFrame stack trace format now represents an undefined return address as
   an SFrame FRE without any offsets.  libsframe provides a new API to test
   for RA undefined, which is used when dumping SFrame information (e.g.
 using
   objdump and readelf) to show such FREs as "RA undefined".

 * Add --got-contents option to readelf to display the contents of
   Global Offset Table (GOT) sections.

 * Internal changes to plugin support, and stricter target checking may
 result
   in some errors being exposed in user options passed to the various
 binutils.
   For example objcopy --target=TARGET now will only work if the input file
 is
   for TARGET whereas prior versions of objcopy accepted other target input
   files and produced a TARGET output.  If you do in fact want the old
   behaviour the correct usage is objcopy --output-target=TARGET.

 * NaCl target support is removed.

 * New versioned release of libsframe: libsframe.so.3.  This release
 introduces
   versioned symbols with version node name LIBSFRAME_3.0.

 * objdump and readelf now support displaying SFrame Version 3 information.
   The existing --sframe option can be used to display sections in the the
 new
   V3 format.  Display of SFrame Version 2 information continues to be
 supported
   (NB: Emission and linking of SFrame Version 2 is discontinued).
