   An update that has one optional fix can now be installed.

Description:


   ARM64 (aarch64) binaries produced by binutils 2.25 gold linker had
   incorrect (4k) section alignment. As a result, those binaries could not be
   mapped when being executed on a SLE 12 kernel.

   This update adjusts the section alignment to 64k, as required by the ABI.
