| /* The date below is automatically updated every day by a bot. During |
| development, we include the date in the tools' version strings |
| (visible in 'ld -v' etc.) because people build binutils from a |
| variety of sources - git, tarballs, distro sources - and we want |
| something that can easily identify the source they used when they |
| report bugs. The bfd version plus date is usually good enough for |
| that purpose. |
| |
| During development, this date ends up in libbfd and libopcodes |
| sonames because people naturally expect shared libraries with the |
| same soname to have compatible ABIs. We could bump the bfd version |
| on every ABI change, but that's just another thing contributors and |
| maintainers would need to remember. Instead, it's much easier for |
| all if the soname contains the date. This is not perfect but is |
| good enough. |
| |
| In releases, the date is not included in either version strings or |
| sonames. */ |
