binutils-2.25.1-32.base.el7.2

The binutils packages provide a collection of binary utilities for the manipulation of object code in various object file formats. It includes the ar, as, gprof, ld, nm, objcopy, objdump, ranlib, readelf, size, strings, strip, and addr2line utilities.

This update fixes the following bug:

* Previously, the ld linker on the IBM Power Systems architecture stored intermediate data in the first object file specified by the linker command line. As a consequence, the linker terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault if that file was not used in the output and was discarded. The linker has been modified to store the data directly in the output file and skip the intermediate storage in the input file. As a result, linking no longer fails with a segmentation fault in the described situation. (BZ#1515347)

Users of binutils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
