GNU makeとGCC frontendが自動的に多くのことをするので、GNU binutilsは主にLinux開発の舞台裏で動作します。含まれるユーティリティ：ld/nm/as/nm/objdump/objcopy/ar/ranlib/strip/c filt/size/addr2line/dlltool
37 coding problems in bfd were resolved, including
static array overruns, null pointer dereferences,
and use of a malloc buffer after it has been
freed. The binutils sources are now released under
GPLv3. A new tool "windmc" has been added for some
targets. Codepage support was added to the windres
tool. The --extract-symbol command line option was
added.
