• CVE-2019-1010180: Fixed an out of bound memory access that could lead to
  crashes (bsc#1142772)

• enable xtensa architecture (Tensilica lc6 and related)

• Use -ffat-lto-objects in order to provide assembly for static libs
  (bsc#1141913).

• Fixed some LTO build issues (bsc#1133131 bsc#1133232).

• riscv: Don’t check ABI flags if no code section

• Fixed a segfault in ld when building some versions of pacemaker
  (bsc#1154025, bsc#1154016).

• Add avr, epiphany and rx to target_list so that the common binutils can
  handle all objects we can create with crosses (bsc#1152590).

Update to binutils 2.32:

• The binutils now support for the C-SKY processor series.
• The x86 assembler now supports a -mvexwig=[0|1] option to control
  encoding of VEX.W-ignored (WIG) VEX instructions. It also has a new
  -mx86-used-note=[yes|no] option to generate (or not) x86 GNU property
  notes.
• The MIPS assembler now supports the Loongson EXTensions R2 (EXT2), the
  Loongson EXTensions (EXT) instructions, the Loongson Content Address
  Memory (CAM) ASE and the Loongson MultiMedia extensions Instructions
  (MMI) ASE.
• The addr2line, c++filt, nm and objdump tools now have a default limit on
  the maximum amount of recursion that is allowed whilst demangling
  strings. This limit can be disabled if necessary.
• Objdump’s --disassemble option can now take a parameter, specifying the
  starting symbol for disassembly. Disassembly will continue from this
  symbol up to the next symbol or the end of the function.
• The BFD linker will now report property change in linker map file when
  merging GNU properties.
• The BFD linker’s -t option now doesn’t report members within archives,
  unless -t is given twice. This makes it more useful when generating a
  list of files that should be packaged for a linker bug report.
• The GOLD linker has improved warning messages for relocations that refer
  to discarded sections.

• Improve relro support on s390 [fate#326356]
• Fix broken debug symbols (bsc#1118644)
• Handle ELF compressed header alignment correctly.
