+
+* ELF: --warn-alternate-em option to warn if an object has alternate
+ ELF machine code.
+
+* New script function REGION_ALIAS to add alias names to memory regions.
+
+* PE targets no longer make use of the long section names PE extension to
+ the COFF format when generating executable images, by default. The old
+ (slightly non-conformant) behaviour can still be invoked by using the
+ new '--enable-long-section-names' command-line option. It is also enabled
+ automatically in the presence of un-stripped debug information, as GDB
+ needs to be able to find the debug info sections by their full names.
+
+* --as-needed now links in a dynamic library if it satisfies undefined
+ symbols in regular objects, or in other dynamic libraries. In the
+ latter case the library is not linked if it is found in a DT_NEEDED
+ entry of one of the libraries already linked.
+
+* Add a new command line option, -Ttext-segment ADDR, for ELF targets
+ to set the address of the first byte of the text segment.
+
+* Add support for Sunplus score architecture.
+
+* Add new option --use-nul-prefixed-import-tables to ld for PE targets to
+ allow fallback to old import table generation with null element prefix.
+
+* Windows PE systems now support a new --exclude-modules-for-implib option,
+ allowing users to partition object files and archive members between a DLL
+ and its associated import library as they are generated during linking.
+
* Add support for Lattice Mico32 (lm32) architecture.
* Add CR16 ELF --embedded-relocs (used to embedded relocations into binaries
