+* The --remove-section option for objcopy and strip now accepts section
+  patterns starting with an exclamation point to indicate a non-matching
+  section.  A non-matching section is removed from the set of sections
+  matched by an earlier --remove-section pattern.

+* The --only-section option for objcopy now accepts section patterns
+  starting with an exclamation point to indicate a non-matching section.
+  A non-matching section is removed from the set of sections matched by

+
+* New --remove-relocations=SECTIONPATTERN option for objcopy and strip.
+  This option can be used to remove sections containing relocations.
+  The SECTIONPATTERN is the section to which the relocations apply, not
+  the relocation section itself.
+
+Changes in 2.27:
+
+* Add a configure option, --enable-64-bit-archive, to force use of a
+  64-bit format when creating an archive symbol index.
+
+* Add --elf-stt-common= option to objcopy for ELF targets to control
+  whether to convert common symbols to the STT_COMMON type.

+* Add support for the ARC EM/HS, and ARC600/700 architectures.
+
+* Extend objcopy --compress-debug-sections option to support
+  --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi] for ELF
+  targets.
+
+* Add --update-section option to objcopy.
+
+* Add --output-separator option to strings.
+
+Changes in 2.25:
+
+* Add --data option to strings to only print strings in loadable, initialized
+  data sections.  Change the default behaviour to be --all, but add a new
+  configure time option of --disable-default-strings-all to restore the old
+  default behaviour.

+* Add --include-all-whitespace to strings.
+
+* Add --dump-section option to objcopy.
