The GNU Binutils are a collection of binary tools. The main ones are:
* ld - the GNU linker.
* as - the GNU assembler.
Most of these programs use BFD, the Binary File Descriptor library, to do
low-level manipulation. Many of them also use the opcodes library to assemble
and disassemble machine instructions.
This port may be used as a replacement for the system binutils and support
features from the latest versions of GCC.
For cross-compilation, see the devel/cross-binutils port.

===> The following configuration options are available for powerpc64-binutils-2.32_1,1:
RELRO=off: enable -z relro in ELF linker by default
STATIC=off: Build static executables and/or libraries
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Update binutils to 2.33.1
While here, convert binutils into flavors, that ease a lot maintenance
and helps cleaning out the code.
This is inspired by the same work on going on the xtoolchained gcc by jhb@

This is a follow up to r461057 and fixes base/binutils and base/gcc in my
testing.

Update to 2.27
Remove aarch64 patches which are now upstream
Disable new x86 relocation to avoid incompatibilities with the old base binutils
Activate all targets on the default binutils (requested by royger@)
Add a RELRO option (default off) to be able to define the default behaviour of
ld(1) on passing or not -z relro
Revert update to binutils 2.25.1 and bump portepoch to reflect that revert
binutils has build issues on 10.x i386 and is full of regressions on 9.x:
unexpected build failures on nss and others
