Daniel Bertalan 4defa401d3 Toolchain+Ports: Update binutils to 2.41
Aside from a straightforward rebase, this contains an out-of-tree patch
from MaskRay which adds the `-Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions` flag to ld.

Patches for binutils on SerenityOS

0001-Add-support-for-SerenityOS.patch

Add support for SerenityOS

Teaches the assembler, BFD, and the linker about the SerenityOS target triple.

We set '/' to not start a comment in GAS, as the QEMU port uses it for division in constant expressions in assembly files (cf. as --divide).

/usr/lib/Loader.so is set as the default ELF interpreter.

On AArch64, we set COMMONPAGESIZE to enable RELRO support.

ld: Add -Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions

This option is a subset of -Bsymbolic-functions: only STB_GLOBAL are considered. Vague linkage functions are STB_WEAK. A vague linkage function may have different addresses in a -Bsymbolic-functions linked shared object and outside the shared object. -Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions can keep pointer equality while providing most benefits: (a) fewer JUMP_SLOT (symbol lookups) (b) avoid PLT entries for default visibility defined functions.
