For years the Haiku project has been maintaining their own GNU Binutils patches downstream but as of yesterday that work has been upstreamed .
The Haiku developers have been maintaining this work for a while and have found the code to be working well and "stable for quite some time."
This GNU Binutils work includes support for Haiku on 32-bit / 64-bit with x86/x86_64 and AArch32/AArch64, m68k, MIPS, POWER, and SPARC64 CPU targets.
This Binutils upstreaming work is just their latest achievement on top of a very busy summer for this open-source OS that back in July celebrated their R1 Beta 3 milestone .
