+
+* objcopy and strip now accept --only-keep-debug to create a file containing
+  those sections that would be stripped out by --strip-debug.  The idea is that
+  this can be used in conjunction with the --add-gnu-debuglink switch to create
+  a two part program distribution - one a stripped executable and the other the
+  debugging info.
+
+* objcopy now accepts --add-gnu-debuglink=<file> to insert a .gnu_debuglink
+  section into a (presumably stripped) executable.  This allows the debug
+  information for the file to be held in a separate file.
+  
 * 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.
