+* The linker script operator DEFINED() will now yield 1 only for a symbol that
+  is defined before the statement where DEFINED is used.
+
+* The MIPS --embedded-relocs (used to embed relocations into binaries for
+  Embedded-PIC code) is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
+
+* cr16c support added by NSC.
+
+* m32r Linux (ELF) support added by Renesas.
+
+* Improved linker's handling of unresolved symbols.  The switch
+  --unresolved-symbols=<method> has been added to tell the linker when it
+  should report them and the switch --warn-unresolved-symbols has been added to
+  make reports be issued as warning messages rather than errors.
+
+Changes in 2.14:
+
+* Added support for Xtensa architecture.
+
+* Added --with-sysroot configure switch to specify a target system root, for
+  linking against a target filesystem image.
+
+* Added --accept-unknown-linker-format to restore old linker behaviour (pre
+  2.14) of silently accepting and linking in any files in an unknown binary
+  file format.
+
+* Added --no-omagic to undo the effects of the -N option.
+
 * Support for Texas Instruments TMS320C4x and TMS320C3x series of
   DSP's contributed by Michael Hayes and Svein E. Seldal.
