Name : binutils
Product : Fedora 31
Version : 2.32
Release : 26.fc31
URL : https://sourceware.org/binutils
Summary : A GNU collection of binary utilities
Description :
Binutils is a collection of binary utilities, including ar (for
creating, modifying and extracting from archives), as (a family of GNU
assemblers), gprof (for displaying call graph profile data), ld (the
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
converting addresses to file and line).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
A recent update to the binutils package for F31 and F30 has improved the note
merging abilities of the objdump program. This is significant because this note
merging is now part of the standard rpm build sequence and the size reduction
can be quite noticeable. For example the merge can reduce the size of the
annobin build notes in the libc.so executable from 3.8Mb down to 3.7Kb. (Ie
megabytes to kilobytes). Although this change should not be directly visible to
users, it would be helpful to have it in the build system, and this should help
to reduce the size of many compiled packages.
