toolchain: binutils: simplify patch management

2026-04-18T17:34:21Z

Take in account only first two version components to lookup patch directory. Hovewer, computed "BASE_VERSION" may be overridden (if necessary). This change should prevent further issues with binutils being unpatched, see commits adad973a9c34 and 525a1e94b343. Also drop obsolete "BIN_VERSION" variable (not used anywhere).

toolchain: binutils: fix compilation with GCC15

2025-05-02T16:01:34Z

GCC15 has switched the C language default from GNU17 to GNU23[1] and this causes builds to fail with: In file included from mips-opc.c:29: mips-opc.c: In function 'decode_mips_operand': mips-formats.h:86:7: error: expected identifier or '(' before 'static_assert' 86 | static_assert[(1 << (SIZE)) == ARRAY_SIZE (MAP)]; \ | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ mips-opc.c:214:15: note: in expansion of macro 'MAPPED_REG' 214 | case 'z': MAPPED_REG (0, 0, GP, reg_0_map); | ^~~~~~~~~~ So, backport upstream fix for this[2] to fix compilation with GCC15. Patch for 2.40 was manually refreshed as part of the S390 code does not exist in 2.40 as it was added after it.
