+binutils (2.37-7+rpi1) bookworm-staging; urgency=medium
+
+  [changes brought forward from 2.29-4+rpi1 by Peter Michael Green <plugwash@raspbian.org> at Thu, 17 Aug 2017 15:41:49 +0000]
+  * Disable testsuite, it fails on our lxc based autobuilders.
+
+  [changes brought forward from 2.31.1-16+rpi2 by Peter Michael Green <plugwash@raspbian.org> at Thu, 06 Feb 2020 17:10:11 +0000]
+  * Allow dependency of binutils on binutils-triplet to be satisfied by
+    foreign architectures, to facilitate setting up environments where the
+    linker is 64-bit while everything else is 32-bit.
+
+  [changes brought forward from 2.35-3+rpi2 by Peter Michael Green <plugwash@raspbian.org> at Tue, 22 Sep 2020 18:10:17 +0000]
+  * Build sufficient cross binutils to support u-boot build.
+
+  [changes brought forward from 2.35.1-3+rpi2 by Peter Michael Green <plugwash@raspbian.org> at Tue, 01 Dec 2020 21:55:01 +0000]
+  * Build the same set of cross-binutils on arm64 as on armhf.
+    (avoids issues when control is generated on armhf and then package is
+    built on arm64)
+  * Remove <!nocheck> build-depends as testsuite is disabled.
+
+  [changes introduced in 2.35.1-5+rpi1 by Peter Michael Green]
+  * Touch gold/yyscript.h and gold/yyscript.c in clean target to ensure they are
+    newer than yyscript.y and hence stop the upstream build system trying to
+    regenerate them when building from a git checkout.
+
+  [changes brought forward from 2.37-4+rpi2 by Peter Michael Green <plugwash@raspbian.org> at Wed, 01 Sep 2021 12:43:37 +0000]
+  * Fix merge screwup that left us with no arm64 cross binutils.
+
+ -- Raspbian forward porter <root@raspbian.org>  Sun, 26 Sep 2021 01:45:11 +0000

 binutils (2.37-7) unstable; urgency=medium
 
   * Fix PR ld/28348, taken from the trunk. Closes: #994530.
