[PATCH] gas, bfd: Rename Arm v8/v9 architecture tags
Sivan Shani proposes renaming the Arm AEABI CPU architecture tag constants to include the profile suffix (e.g., ‘A’) for A-profile architectures. This change aims to provide consistent naming with existing v8-R and v8-M tag names. The patch updates BFD and GAS usage accordingly while preserving the existing numeric tag values.
