Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install gcc-toolset-9-binutils-devel on Rocky Linux 8.

What is `gcc-toolset-9-binutils-devel`

This package contains BFD and opcodes static and dynamic libraries. The dynamic libraries are in this package, rather than a separate base package because they are actually linker scripts that force the use of the static libraries. This is because the API of the BFD library is too unstable to be used dynamically. The static libraries are here because they are now needed by the dynamic libraries. Developers starting new projects are strongly encouraged to consider using libelf instead of BFD.
