Hi Nick,

I would like to apply the following patch to binutils-2_46-branch:

commit 4edeb9be08afae397e6c0dd1a57399b18ca29e35
Author: Indu Bhagat
Date:   Thu Jan 29 20:02:57 2026 -0800

     include: libsframe: rename SFrame V3 Flexible FDE macros to CTRLWORD

https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2026-January/147984.html

This is a terminology change in SFrame implementation aligning it closer 
to the specification changes done earlier (before the branch creation). 
The other advantage of doing this change now is that further backports, 
if and when the need arises, will be easier.

Thanks
