Re: Planned binutils-2.46.1 release

Sam James is planning a binutils-2.46.1 point release motivated by C23/glibc-2.43 fixes. The thread discusses backporting additional fixes, including one related to sframe version checking. Alan Modra advises against backporting fuzzing fixes or memory leak fixes unless they significantly aid in backporting other desired fixes.
