Baptiste Daroussin 4d52edca2b Update binutils to 2.33.1
While here, make the port autonomuous (not a slave port of devel/binutils
anymore)
The only dependency this port is keeping with devel/binutils is sharing the
patch directory to avoid duplication.

The GNU Binutils are a collection of binary tools. The main ones are:
* ld - the GNU linker.
* as - the GNU assembler.
Most of these programs use BFD, the Binary File Descriptor library, to do
low-level manipulation. Many of them also use the opcodes library to assemble
and disassemble machine instructions.
This port may be used as a replacement for the system binutils and support
features from the latest versions of GCC.
For cross-compilation, see the devel/cross-binutils port.
