   An update that has two recommended fixes and contains three
   features can now be installed.

Description:

   This update for binutils fixes the following issues:

   Update binutils 2.35 branch to commit 1c5243df:

   * Fixes PR26520, aka [bsc#1179036], a problem in addr2line with certain
     DWARF variable descriptions.
   * Also fixes PR26711, PR26656, PR26655, PR26929, PR26808, PR25878,
     PR26740, PR26778, PR26763, PR26685, PR26699, PR26902, PR26869, PR26711
   * The above includes fixes for dwo files produced by modern dwp, fixing
     several problems in the DWARF reader.

   Update binutils to 2.35.1 and rebased branch diff:

   * This is a point release over the previous 2.35 version, containing bug
     fixes, and as an exception to the usual rule, one new feature.  The new
     feature is the support for a new directive in the assembler: ".nop".
     This directive creates a single no-op instruction in whatever encoding
     is correct for the target architecture.  Unlike the .space or .fill this
     is a real instruction, and it does affect the generation of DWARF line
     number tables, should they be enabled. This fixes an incompatibility
     introduced in the latest update that broke the install scripts of the
     Oracle server. [bsc#1179341]
