+* Binutils now supports debuginfod, an HTTP server for distributing
+ ELF/DWARF debugging information as well as source code. When built with
+ debuginfod, readelf and objdump can automatically query debuginfod
+ servers for separate debug files when they otherwise cannot be found.
+ To build binutils with debuginfod, pass --with-debuginfod to configure.
+ This requires libdebuginfod, the debuginfod client library. debuginfod
+ is distributed with elfutils, starting with version 0.178. For more
+ information see https://sourceware.org/elfutils.

* Add --output option to the "ar" program. This option can be used to specify
the output directory when extracting members from an archive.
