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.

===> The following configuration options are available for riscv64-binutils-2.32_1,1:
RELRO=off: enable -z relro in ELF linker by default
STATIC=off: Build static executables and/or libraries
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Update binutils to 2.33.1
While here, convert binutils into flavors, that ease a lot maintenance
and helps cleaning out the code.
This is inspired by the same work on going on the xtoolchained gcc by jhb@

Make devel/riscv64-binutils a slave of devel/binutils.
Since the riscv support was merged into the upstream binutils repository
prior to the 2.30 release, switch the riscv64-binutils port over to the
standard binutils port rather than building from an alternate branch of
binutils 2.29.
