+* TI C54x support, by Timothy Wall.
+
+* Added command line switch --section-start to set the start address of any
+ specified section.
+
+* Added ability to emit full relocation information in linked executables,
+ enabled by --emit-relocs. Some post-linkage optimization tools need
+ this information in order to be able to correctly identify and perform
+ symbol relative addressing in the event of changes in section contents
+ (instructions being added or deleted, extending data sections, etc.)
+
Changes in version 2.10:
+* Added AT> to the linker script language to allow load-time allocation of
+ sections into regions.
+
* Added garbage collection of unused sections, enabled by --gc-sections.
It does require a bit of backend support; currently implemented are
- ppc-elf, mips-elf, and mn10300-elf. Others will ignore the option.
+ 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.
* Added SORT to the linker script language to permit sorting sections by file
name or section name.
* Added ASSERT to the linker script language.
+* Added EXCLUDE_FILE to the linker script language for further control over
+ wildcard file names.
+
* Added -O option to optimize linker output (as of this writing, this only
affects ELF shared library generation).
* The -e option now accepts a number as well as a symbol name.
+* Added --no-undefined option to disallow undefined symbols when creating a
+ shared library.
+
+* The linker now issues a warning, not an error, for an undefined symbol when
+ using -Bsymbolic; use the new --no-undefined option to get the old
+ behaviour.
+
* Added --demangle and --no-demangle options.
Changes in version 2.9:
