+ * lexsup.c: Rename --add-needed to --copy-dt-needed-entries.
+ * ldlang.h (struct lang_input_statement_struct): Rename add_needed
+ to add_DT_NEEDED_for_dynamic. Rename as_needed to
+ add_DT_NEEDED_for_regular.
+ * ldlang.c: Likewise.
+ * ldlang.h: Likewise.
+ * ldlang.c: Use the new variable names.
+ * ldgram.y: Likewise.
+ * emultempl/elf32.em: Likewise.
+ * ld.texinfo: Document the renamed option. Also mention its
+ affect on the resolution of dynamic symbols.
+ * NEWS: Mention the changed option name.

* emulparams/arm_epoc_pe.sh: Remove ENTRY.
-*- text -*-
+* --add-needed renamed to --copy-dt-needed-entries in order to avoid confusion
+ with --as-needed option.
+
* Extend .def file syntax by '== <ID>' for imports and exports. This allows
to alias the import/export table name written in PE image.

+@itemx --no-copy-dt-needed-entries
+This option affects the treatment of dynamic libraries referred to
+by DT_NEEDED tags @emph{inside} ELF dynamic libraries mentioned on the
+command line. Normally the linker will add a DT_NEEDED tag to the
+output binary for each library mentioned in a DT_NEEDED tag in an
+input dynamic library. With @option{--no-copy-dt-needed-entries}
+specified on the command line however any dynamic libraries that
+follow it will have their DT_NEEDED entries ignored. The default
+behaviour can be restored with @option{--copy-dt-needed-entries}.
+
+This option also has an effect on the resolution of symbols in dynamic
+libraries. With the default setting dynamic libraries mentioned on
+the command line will be recursively searched, following their
+DT_NEEDED tags to other libraries, in order to resolve symbols
+required by the output binary. With
+@option{--no-copy-dt-needed-entries} specified however the searching
+of dynamic libraries that follow it will stop with the dynamic
+library itself. No DT_NEEDED links will be traversed to resolve
+symbols.
