GNU Binutils 2.37 isn't the most exciting update in recent memory but does bring some new improvements like support for Arm's new RME extension and other maintenance/janitorial work.
- AArch64 Realm Management Extension (RME) support was added. Realm Management Extension is new to ARMv9-A and adds additional security states, physical address spaces, the ability to dynamically transition memory between physical address spaces, and a Granule Protection Check mechanism. The Realm Management Extension is part of the overall Arm Confidential Compute Architecture with RME being around trusted execution environments/realms.
- Arm Symbian OS support was removed .
- Readelf and objdump will now follow links to separate debug info files by default.
- Binutils now requires being built under a C99 compiler and library.
