Fix clang 6.0.0 compiler warnings in binutils

2017-12-24T16:51:59Z

Latest clang git has a warning -Wnull-pointer-arithmetic which will trigger a -Werror failure. Addition and subtraction from a null pointer is undefined behaviour and could be optimized into anything. Furthermore, using the difference between two pointers and casting the result back to a pointer is not portable since the size of ptrdiff_t does not necessary have to be the same as size of void* (this happens e.g. on CHERI). Using intptr_t instead fixes this portability issue and the compiler warning.

binutils/bfd: fix printf-like format strings for "bfd *" arguments

2013-10-29T04:25:49Z

There is a special format argument '%B' that directly handles values of type 'bfd *', they must be used instead of '%s'. Manifestations of this bug can be seen in ld(1) error messages, for example, http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2013-August/043580.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2013-October/045404.html Approved by: dim MFC after: 2 weeks

Merge binutils 2.17.50 to head. This brings a number of improvements to

x86 CPU support, better support for powerpc64, some new directives, and many other things. Bump __FreeBSD_version, and add a note to UPDATING. Thanks to the many people that have helped to test this. Obtained from: projects/binutils-2.17

Merge ^/vendor/binutils/dist@214571 into contrib/binutils, which brings

2010-11-01T19:35:33Z

us up to version 2.17.50.20070703, at the last GPLv2 commit. Amongst others, this added upstream support for some FreeBSD-specific things that we previously had to manually hack in, such as the OSABI label support, and so on. There are also quite a number of new files, some for cpu's (e.g. SPU) that we may or may not be interested in, but those can be cleaned up later on, if needed.

Merge ^vendor/binutils/dist@214082 into contrib/binutils.
