+ non-sharable applications.
+
+* Support for -z combreloc in the ELF linker, which puts dynamic
+ relocations against the same symbol together, so that dynamic linker

+* Support added for eliminating duplicate DWARF2 debug information by
+ having the compiler generate the information in sections called
+ .gnu.linkonce.wi.XXXX where XXXX is a checksum for the contents. The
+ linker then merges these sections together into the normal .debug_info
+ section.

Changes in version 2.10:
* Added AT> to the linker script language to allow load-time allocation of
* Added garbage collection of unused sections, enabled by --gc-sections.
It does require a bit of backend support; currently implemented are
- avr-elf, d10v-elf, fr30-elf, i386-elf, m32r-elf, m68k-elf, mcore-elf,
- mips-elf, mn10300-elf, ppc-elf, sh-elf, sparc-elf, and v850-elf.
+ arm-elf, avr-elf, d10v-elf, fr30-elf, i386-elf, m32r-elf, m68k-elf,
+ mcore-elf, mips-elf, mn10300-elf, ppc-elf, sh-elf, sparc-elf, and v850-elf.
Others will ignore the option.
