The GNU Binutils are a collection of binary tools. The main ones are:
* ld - the GNU linker.
* as - the GNU assembler.
Most of these programs use BFD, the Binary File Descriptor library, to do
low-level manipulation. Many of them also use the opcodes library to assemble
and disassemble machine instructions.
This port may be used as a replacement for the system binutils and support
features from the latest versions of GCC.
For cross-compilation, see the devel/cross-binutils port.

Introduce Binutils for CloudABI on aarch64.
When I added the first copy of the CloudABI toolchain to the Ports tree,
I assumed that it would be easily possible to have a single Binutils
port that would support all of the architectures of interest. It seems
that this is not really supported, or simply awkward to use.
Let's just rename the cloudabi-binutils port to cloudabi-binutils-x86_64
and add an additional cloudabi-binutils-aarch64.

New port: devel/cloudabi-binutils.
This port installs a copy of GNU Binutils that targets CloudABI.
CloudABI is a compact UNIX-like runtime environment built on
capability-based security. More details:
https://github.com/NuxiNL/cloudlibc
Support for CloudABI has been upstreamed, but will only be part of
the upcoming version of Binutils. This port includes a backported copy
of the patchset. It can safely be removed if devel/binutils is bumped to
a newer version.
