* Drop the CVE-2024-53589 patch, its included in 2.44
* Package newly rename gp-* to gprofng-* binaries and remove old gp-*
symlinks
* Gold linker is now deprecated and will be removed in future release
its already deleted in tarball releases
* Support for the Nios II target has been removed.
* Assembler:
- Support for new architecture extensions for AArch64, Risc-V and
x86.
* Linker:
The default maximum page size was changed from 16KiB to 64KiB for
LoongArch.
This now supports mixed LTO and non-LTO object files in
relocatable output.
The ELF forms of the linker support a --image-base=<ADDR> option
for compatibility with LLD.
The --build-id= option now accepts an argument of "xx" which
enables the use of the xxhash library. This produces a 128-bit
hash and is 2-4x faster than md5 or sha1.
The ELF linker option --package-metadata supports percent-encoded
and %[string] encoded JSON payloads.
* Disassembler:
The RISC-V disassembler now supports -M,max option like QEMU to
dump instruction without checking architecture support as usual.
* GprofNG:
Support added for hardware event counters for Neoverse-N1,
Ampere-1, and Appliedmicro processors.

Details of changelog [1]
Removing bfd/ld patch to enable PE targets, instead use
specific emulations via --enable-targets for x86_64
Re-arrange/forward-port patches and upgrade libctf configure to libtool 2.4 patch
rpaths are no longer emitted into elfedit/readelf therefore no need of
chrpath anymore
Instead of pre-generating configure scripts and house them in libtool
patch, generate them during configure. This also ensures that we do not
patch configure directly but rather the sources which generate it
Package newly added libctf library
