+* Add a configure option --enable-separate-code to decide whether

+* Add -z separate-code to generate separate code PT_LOAD segment.

+* Add -z globalaudit command line option to force audit libraries to be run
+ for every dynamic object loaded by an executable - provided that the loader
+ supports this functionality.
+
+* Tighten linker script grammar around file name specifiers to prevent the use
+ of SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT and SORT_BY_INIT_PRIORITY on filenames. These would
+ previously be accepted but had no effect.

+ targets except FRV, HPPA, IA64 and MIPS. Note that -z relro can increase

* Support for -z noreloc-overflow in the x86-64 ELF linker to disable
relocation overflow check.
other utilities should work on Risc/Ultrix and Irix.
