+# Binutils SPEC file.  Can be invoked with the following parameters to change

+
+# --define "binutils_target arm-linux-gnu" to create arm-linux-gnu-binutils.
+#
+# --with bootstrap       Build with minimal dependencies.
+# --with debug           Build without optimizations and without splitting
+#                         the debuginfo into a separate file.
+# --without docs         Skip building documentation.
+#                         Default is with docs, except when building a cross binutils.
+# --without testsuite    Do not run the testsuite.  Default is to run it.
+# --without gold         Disable building of the GOLD linker.
+# --with clang           To force building with the CLANG.
+# --without debuginfod   Disable support for debuginfod.

+# cannot have relocations against absolute symbols.

+Source2: binutils-2.19.50.0.1-output-format.sed
+
+#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+# Purpose:  Use /lib64 and /usr/lib64 instead of /lib and /usr/lib in the
+#           default library search path of 64-bit targets.
+# Lifetime: Permanent, but it should not be.  This is a bug in the libtool
+#           sources used in both binutils and gcc, (specifically the
+#           libtool.m4 file).  These are based on a version released in 2009
+#           (2.2.6?) rather than the latest version.  (Definitely fixed in
+#           libtool version 2.4.6).
+Patch01: binutils-libtool-lib64.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Appends a RHEL or Fedora release string to the generic binutils
+#           version string.
+# Lifetime: Permanent.  This is a RHEL/Fedora specific patch.
+Patch02: binutils-version.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Exports the demangle.h header file (associated with the libiberty
+#           sources) with the binutils-devel rpm.
+# Lifetime: Permanent.  This is a RHEL/Fedora specific patch.
+Patch03: binutils-export-demangle.h.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Disables the check in the BFD library's bfd.h header file that
+#           config.h has been included before the bfd.h header.  See BZ
+#           #845084 for more details.
+# Lifetime: Permanent - but it should not be.  The bfd.h header defines
+#           various types that are dependent upon configuration options, so
+#           the order of inclusion is important.
+# FIXME:    It would be better if the packages using the bfd.h header were
+#           fixed so that they do include the header files in the correct
+#           order.
+Patch04: binutils-no-config-h-check.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Include the filename concerned in readelf error messages.  This
+#           makes readelf's output more helpful when it is run on multiple
+#           input files.
+# Lifetime: Permanent.  This patch changes the format of readelf's output,
+#           making it better (IMHO) but also potentially breaking tools that
+#           depend upon readelf's current format.  Hence it remains a local
+#           patch.
+Patch05: binutils-filename-in-error-messages.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Disable an x86/x86_64 optimization that moves functions from the
+#           PLT into the GOTPLT for faster access.  This optimization is
+#           problematic for tools that want to intercept PLT entries, such
+#           as ltrace and LD_AUDIT.  See BZs 1452111 and 1333481.
+# Lifetime: Permanent.  But it should not be.
+# FIXME:    Replace with a configure time option.
+Patch06: binutils-revert-PLT-elision.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Changes readelf so that when it displays extra information about
+#           a symbol, this information is placed at the end of the line.
+# Lifetime: Permanent.
+# FIXME:    The proper fix would be to update the scripts that are expecting
+#           a fixed output from readelf.  But it seems that some of them are
+#           no longer being maintained.
+Patch07: binutils-readelf-other-sym-info.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Do not create PLT entries for AARCH64 IFUNC symbols referenced in
+#           debug sections.
+# Lifetime: Permanent.
+# FIXME:    Find related bug.  Decide on permanency.
+Patch08: binutils-2.27-aarch64-ifunc.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Stop the binutils from statically linking with libstdc++.
+# Lifetime: Permanent.
+Patch09: binutils-do-not-link-with-static-libstdc++.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Allow OS specific sections in section groups.
+# Lifetime: Fixed in 2.39 (maybe)
+Patch10: binutils-special-sections-in-groups.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Fix linker testsuite failures.
+# Lifetime: Fixed in 2.39 (maybe)
+Patch11: binutils-fix-testsuite-failures.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Stop gold from aborting when input sections with the same name
+#            have different flags.
+# Lifetime: Fixed in 2.39 (maybe)
+Patch12: binutils-gold-mismatched-section-flags.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Add a check to the GOLD linker for a corrupt input file
+#            with a fuzzed section offset.
+# Lifetime: Fixed in 2.39 (maybe)
+Patch13: binutils-CVE-2019-1010204.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Change the gold configuration script to only warn about
+#            unsupported targets.  This allows the binutils to be built with
+#            BPF support enabled.
+# Lifetime: Permanent.
+Patch14: binutils-gold-warn-unsupported.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Use the "unsigned long long" type for pointers on hosts where
+#           long is a 32-bit type but pointers are a 64-bit type.  Necessary
+#           because users expect to be able to install both the i686- and
+#           x86_64 versions of binutils-devel on the same machine, so they
+#           need to identical versions of the bfd.h header file.
+# Lifetime: Permanent.
+Patch15: binutils-use-long-long.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Fix testsuite failures due to the patches applied here.
+# Lifetime: Permanent, but varying with each new rebase.
+Patch16: binutils-testsuite-fixes.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Enable the creation of .note.gnu.property sections by the GOLD
+#            linker for x86 binaries.
+# Lifetime: Fixed in 2.38 maybe
+Patch17: binutils-gold-i386-gnu-property-notes.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Allow the binutils to be configured with any (recent) version of
+#            autoconf.
+# Lifetime: Fixed in 2.39 (maybe ?)
+Patch18: binutils-autoconf-version.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Stop libtool from inserting useless runpaths into binaries.
+# Lifetime: Who knows.
+Patch19: gcc12-libtool-no-rpath.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Add support for specifying section types in linker scripts.
+# Lifetime: Fixed in 2.39
+Patch20: binutils-section-type.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Simplify the evaluation of assembler loc view expression chains.
+# Lifetime: Fixed in 2.39
+Patch21: binutils-gas-loc-view.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Add an option to disable access to debuginfod servers.
+# Lifetime: Fixed in 2.39
+Patch22: binutils-do-not-use-debuginfod.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Keep indirect symbol from IR if referenced from shared object.
+# Lifetime: Fixed in 2.39
+Patch23: binutils-indirect-symbols.patch
+
+# Purpose:  Add support for DWARF info generated by Clang 14.

+Binutils is a collection of binary utilities, including ar (for

+GNU linker), nm (for listing symbols from object files), objcopy (for
+copying and translating object files), objdump (for displaying
+information from object files), ranlib (for generating an index for
+the contents of an archive), readelf (for displaying detailed
+information about binary files), size (for listing the section sizes
+of an object or archive file), strings (for listing printable strings
+from files), strip (for discarding symbols), and addr2line (for

+%description devel
+This package contains BFD and opcodes static and dynamic libraries.
+
+The dynamic libraries are in this package, rather than a separate
+base package because they are actually linker scripts that force
+the use of the static libraries.  This is because the API of the
+BFD library is too unstable to be used dynamically.
+
+The static libraries are here because they are now needed by the
+dynamic libraries.
+
+Developers starting new projects are strongly encouraged to consider
+using libelf instead of BFD.

+%description gold
+This package provides the GOLD linker, which can be used as an alternative to
+the default binutils linker (ld.bfd).  The GOLD is generally faster than the
+BFD linker, and it supports features such as Identical Code Folding and
+Incremental linking.  Unfortunately it is not as well maintained as the BFD
+linker, and it may become deprecated in the future.
