cover xtensa binutils fixes backports
Hi Thomas,
this series backports two fixes for binutils:
- first fixes call target misalignment during link-time relaxation often seen with linux kernel builds;
- second fixes 'overflow after relaxation' link-time error recently seen with some buildroot packages.
Max Filippov (2):
binutils: backport first section frag alignment fix for xtensa gas
binutils: backport R_XTENSA_DIFF* relocation signedness fix
