Hi Guys,
The time for the 2.38 release is approaching. My schedule currently
looks like this:
Sat Jan 22: Create the 2.38 branch
Sat Jan 29: Create the 2.38 release
It is a short time table because I am trying to get the branch out
before the end of January. These dates can slip if necessary, but
I would prefer to keep them if we can.
Therefore please can anyone with new features that they would like
to see in the next release expedite their patch submissions, and
anyone who is waiting on patch review for their already submitted
patches please ping the relevant maintainers and/or me.
Cheers
Nick

Hi Nick,
Can you review my DT_RELR patches?
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2022-January/119222.html
I'd like to add them to binutils 2.38.
Thanks.

I've looked over them. I keep asking myself, "Why did HJ have to
reinvent everything rather than reuse existing code used in other
targets?" And "Why do we need yet another hook?" All of which will
be a maintenance burden, especially after you retire or quit binutils
work for any other reason.
You'll need to justify design decisions, and not assume other targets
will follow your design. This sort of thing
+ /* NB: Also enable relaxation to layout sections for DT_RELR. */
+ if (RELAXATION_ENABLED || link_info.enable_dt_relr)
is just wrong. There is absolutely no fundamental reason that
bfd_relax_section must handle sizing of the DT_RELR section. I choose
to not do so on powerpc64.

Not to spam, but would you please review my aarch64-pe patches? I don't want it added to 2.38, as it doesn't have some important features needed (like relocations and DLL support), but it will make it easier for me to work on those features when it gets reviewed.
Thanks

Sure - but ... please could you send me a new version of the patch with a couple of changes ?
Specifically:
* Please could you send the patch as an attachment, not inline.
(For some reason my email reader keeps on wrapping long lines, which corrupts inline patches)
* Please could you omit the changes to the gdb sources.
(You will need separate approval from the gdb folks for that part).
* Please could you omit the changes to the auto-generated files
(eg configure, Makefile.in, etc). I will regenerate the files
myself.
* If possible, please could you omit any formatting tweaks.
eg replacing "# define" with "#define" and so on.
Cheers
Nick
