Comment (by bdubbs):
Changes in 2.36:
* Update elfedit and readelf with LAM_U48 and LAM_U57 support.
* Nm has a new command line option: --ifunc-chars=CHARS. This specifies a
string of one or two characters. The first character is used as the
type
character when displaying global ifunc symbols. The second character,
if
present is used when displaying local ifunc symbols.
In addition a new configure time option --enable-f-for-ifunc-symbols has
been
created, which if used will change nm's default characters for ifunc
symbols
from i (both local and global) to F (global) and f (local).
* The ar tool's previously unused l modifier is now used for specifying
dependencies of a static library. The arguments of this option
(or --record-libdeps long form option) will be stored verbatim in the
__.LIBDEP member of the archive, which the linker may read at link time.
* Readelf can now display the contents of LTO symbol table sections when
asked
to do so via the --lto-syms command line option.
* Readelf now accepts the -C command line option to enable the demangling
of
symbol names. In addition the --demangle=<style>, --no-demangle,
--recurse-limit and --no-recurse-limit options are also now availale.
* Add support for the SHF_GNU_RETAIN ELF section flag.
This flag specifies that the section should not be garbage collected by
the
linker.
