-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-4477 2008-07-30 18:10:00 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : elfutils Product : Fedora 9 Version : 0.135 Release : 1.fc9 URL : https://fedorahosted.org/elfutils/ Summary : A collection of utilities and DSOs to handle compiled objects Description : Elfutils is a collection of utilities, including ld (a linker), nm (for listing symbols from object files), size (for listing the section sizes of an object or archive file), strip (for discarding symbols), readelf (to see the raw ELF file structures), and elflint (to check for well-formed ELF files). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes problems with the eu-strip utility (used in RPM package builds) handling ET_REL files (such as kernel .ko files) in some unusual cases. It fixes problems with the eu-readelf utility handling archive files, and adds new support for printing .gnu.attribute sections (-A) and more core file register note types. It also fixes problems with compiling against the <libelf.h> header file without using certain feature test macros. The eu-elfcmp utility is fixed to handle .gnu.attribute sections produced by GCC 4.3 without false-negative comparisons. Finally, the new eu-objdump utility is provided with limited support for disassembling x86/x86-64 code. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon May 12 2008 Roland McGrath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 0.135-1 - Update to 0.135 - libdwfl: bug fixes - eu-strip: changed handling of ET_REL files wrt symbol tables and relocs * Wed Apr 9 2008 Roland McGrath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 0.134-1 - Update to 0.134 - elflint: backend improvements for sparc, alpha (#204170) - libdwfl, libelf: bug fixes (#439344, #438867, #438263, #438190) - Remove Conflicts: libelf-devel from elfutils-libelf-devel.
