With the release of binutils/ld 2.36, ld swapped to much improved default settings when producing windows binaries with mingw-w64. One of these changes was to stop stripping the .reloc section from binaries, which is required for working ASLR. .reloc section stripping is something we've accounted for previously, see #18702. The related upstream discussion is in this thread: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19011. When we switched to using a newer Guix time-machine in #23778, we begun using binutils 2.37 to produce releases. Since then, our windows installer (produced with makensis) has not functioned correctly when run on a Windows system with the "Force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR)" option enabled. Note that all of our other release binaries, which all contain .reloc sections, function fine under the same option, so it cannot be just the presence of a .reloc section that is the issue. For now, restore makensis to it's pre-binutils-2.36 behaviour, which fixes the produced installer. The underlying issue can be further investigated in future. |

Repository Tools
Developer tools
Specific tools for developers working on this repository.
Additional tools, including the github-merge.py script, are available in the maintainer-tools repository.
Verify-Commits
Tool to verify that every merge commit was signed by a developer using the github-merge.py script.
Linearize
Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.
Qos
A Linux bash script that will set up traffic control (tc) to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.
Seeds
Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client.
Build Tools and Keys
Packaging
The Debian subfolder contains the copyright file.
All other packaging related files can be found in the bitcoin-core/packaging repository.
Builder keys
PGP keys used for signing Bitcoin Core release results.
MacDeploy
Scripts and notes for Mac builds.
Test and Verify Tools
TestGen
Utilities to generate test vectors for the data-driven Bitcoin tests.
Verify Binaries
This script attempts to download and verify the signature file SHA256SUMS.asc from bitcoin.org.
