This attempts to make reproducible tarballs by sorting the files and passing the "--mtime= " option to tar. The date used for these tarballs was obtained by running: git log -1 --format=%cd --date=format:%F bfd/version.m4 As this is an even numbered release, the sources for the GOLD linker are included. This release contains numerous bug fixes, and also the following new features: * Support for new instructions added to AMD, ARM and RISC-V architectures. * Support for version 3 of the SFrame standard. * The readelf program can now display the contents of Global Offset Tables. * Improved linker tagging support.
