GNU Binutils

Open a link in a new window or tab. In order to open a link in a new window / tab, add target='blank' inside the tag: Open page in new window The code will create this link: Open page in new window. New window or new tab. You can't set whether the link will be opened in a new window or new tab. It depends on the browser's settings. Open a link in a new window with specified size. New York State continues to increase testing capacity for COVID-19 on a daily basis. The guidance below enables New York State to prioritize resources to meet the public health need. Individuals who have questions regarding eligibility or access for testing should call the New York State COVID-19 Hotline at 1-888-364-3065 or visit the NYSDOH.

The GNU Binutils are a collection of binary tools. The main ones are:

  • Upgrading from an old Apple Watch to a new 'Apple Watch Series 6' isn't as easy as just buying one and putting it on. There's not much more involved, but what you do have to do is important to get.
  • If you want to remove all disavowals for a given property, follow these steps. If you want to replace an old list with a new one, you do not need to do this; simply upload the new list. Go to the disavow links tool page. Select a property from the property list. Click Cancel Disavowals. The disavowal list for the selected property will be removed.
  • ld - the GNU linker.
  • as - the GNU assembler.

But they also include:

  • addr2line - Converts addresses into filenames and line numbers.
  • ar - A utility for creating, modifying and extracting from archives.
  • c++filt - Filter to demangle encoded C++ symbols.
  • dlltool - Creates files for building and using DLLs.
  • gold - A new, faster, ELF only linker, still in beta test.
  • gprof - Displays profiling information.
  • nlmconv - Converts object code into an NLM.
  • nm - Lists symbols from object files.
  • objcopy - Copies and translates object files.
  • objdump - Displays information from object files.
  • ranlib - Generates an index to the contents of an archive.
  • readelf - Displays information from any ELF format object file.
  • size - Lists the section sizes of an object or archive file.
  • strings - Lists printable strings from files.
  • strip - Discards symbols.
  • windmc - A Windows compatible message compiler.
  • windres - A compiler for Windows resource files.
A New Linker

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.

The binutils have been ported to most major Unix variants as well as Wintel systems, and their main reason for existence is to give the GNU system (and GNU/Linux) the facility to compile and link programs.

Obtaining binutils

The latest release of GNU binutils is 2.36. The various NEWS files (binutils, gas, and ld) have details of what has changed in this release.

See the SOFTWARE page for information on obtaining releases of GNU binutils and other GNU software. The current release can be downloaded from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils or, preferably, from a nearby mirror through the generic URL https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/binutils.

If you plan to do active work on GNU binutils, you can access the development source tree by anonymous git:

git clone git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git

Alternatively, you can use the gitweb interface, or the source snapshots, available as bzipped tar files via anonymous FTP from ftp://sourceware.org/pub/binutils/snapshots.

Bug reports

There is a bug-tracking system at https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/.

Mailing lists

There are three binutils mailing lists:

<bug-binutils@gnu.org> (archives)
For reporting bugs.
<binutils@sourceware.org> (archives)
For discussing binutils issues.
binutils-cvs (archives)
A read-only mailing list containing the notes from checkins to the binutils git repository. (This list has an odd name for historical reasons.)

You can use this form to subscribe to the binutils@sourceware.org or binutils-cvs@sourceware.org mailing lists:

To subscribe to the bug-binutils@gnu.org mailing list, see the bug-binutils info page.

You may wish to browse the old mail archives of the gas2 and bfd mailing lists. These were the discussion lists for binutils until May 1999. Please do not send mail to them any longer.
