All programs in binutils+gdb git repo now support gABI compression

as compression default for gas, gold, ld and objcopy, instead of the

AMD64 spec and Intel64 spec differ in direct unconditional branches in
64-bit mode. AMD64 supports direct unconditional branches with 16-bit
offset via the data size prefix, which truncates RIP to 16 bits, while
the data size prefix is ignored by Intel64.
This patch adds -mamd64/-mintel64 option to x86-64 assembler and
-Mamd64/-Mintel64 option to x86-64 disassembler. The most permissive

This patch adds --compress-debug-sections={none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi}
options to gas and objcopy for ELF files. They control how DWARF debug
sections are compressed. --compress-debug-sections=none is equivalent to
--nocompress-debug-sections. --compress-debug-sections=zlib and
--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu are equivalent to
--compress-debug-sections. --compress-debug-sections=zlib-gabi compresses
DWARF debug sections with SHF_COMPRESSED from the ELF ABI. No linker

--all option which displays text from anywhere in the input file(s). The
default used to be --data, which only displays text from loadable data sections,
but this requires the use of the BFD library. Since the BFD library almost

since the strings program is often used to examine malicious code, it was
