GNU Binutils 2.44 Released

Date:
Sun, 02 Feb 2025 23:04:01 +0000

Description:
Version 2.44 of the GNU Binutils package has been released.  Perhaps the
most significant change is the absence of the "gold" linker, which is
deprecated and about to disappear entirely.  Gold appeared in 2008 with some 
fanfare as a faster
linker, but it has suffered from a lack of maintenance in recent years.
This release also includes some architecture-specific assembler
improvements, and some (non-gold) linker enhancements.
