Changes in 2.16:
* objcopy now accepts --add-gnu-debuglink=<file> to insert a .gnu_debuglink
section into a (presumably stripped) executable. This allows the debug

* BFD marks the sections .comment and .note as 'n' in the BSD/POSIX
single-character representation. This can be checked by running nm
with the -a switch.
