+* Add --extract-symbol command line option to objcopy, which will
+ strip everything out of an ordinary object file or executable except
+ for its symbol table. Files containing just symbols can be useful
+ to some OSes.
+
+* Add "-x NAME" to readelf in addition to "-x NUMBER".
+
+* Add -i and -t switches to cxxfilt. -i disables the display of implementation
+ specific extra demangling information (if any) and -t disables the demangling
+ of types.
+
+* Add support for the "@<file>" syntax to the command lines of all tools, so
+ that extra switches can be read from <file>.
+
+* Add "-W/--dwarf" to objdump to display the contents of the DWARF
+ debug sections.
+
+* Add "-t/--section-details" to readelf to display section details.
+ "-N/--full-section-name" is deprecated.
+
+* powerpc-linux ld now supports a variant form of PLT and GOT for the security
+ conscious. This form will automatically be chosen when ld detects that all
+ code in regular object files was generated by gcc -msecure-plt. The old PLT
+ and GOT may be forced by a new ld option, --bss-plt.
+
+* Add "-i/--inlines" to addr2line to print enclosing scope information
+ for inlined function chains, back to first non-inlined function.
+
+* Add "-N/--full-section-name" to readelf to display full section name.
+
* Add "-M entry:<addr>" switch to objdump to specify a function entry address
when disassembling VAX binaries.
Changes in 2.16:
+* Add "-g/--section-groups" to readelf to display section groups.
+
* objcopy recognizes two new options --strip-unneeded-symbol and
--strip-unneeded-symbols, namely for use together with the wildcard
matching the original --strip-symbol/--strip-symbols provided, but
