+* Support for -z noreloc-overflow in the x86-64 ELF linker to disable
+ relocation overflow check.
+
+* Add -z common/-z nocommon options for ELF targets to control whether to
+ convert common symbols to the STT_COMMON type during a relocatable link.
+
+* Support for -z nodynamic-undefined-weak in the x86 ELF linker, which
+ avoids dynamic relocations against undefined weak symbols in executable.
+
+Changes in 2.26:
+
+* Add --fix-stm32l4xx-629360 to the ARM linker to enable a link-time
+ workaround for a bug in the bus matrix / memory controller for some of
+ the STM32 Cortex-M4 based products (STM32L4xx)
+
+* Add a configure option --enable-compressed-debug-sections={all,ld} to
+ decide whether DWARF debug sections should be compressed by default.
+
+* Add support for the ARC EM/HS, and ARC600/700 architectures.
+
+* Experimental support for linker garbage collection (--gc-sections)
+ has been enabled for COFF and PE based targets.
+
+* New command line option for ELF targets to compress DWARF debug
+ sections, --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi].
+
+* New command line option, --orphan-handling=[place|warn|error|discard], to
+ adjust how orphan sections are handled. The default is 'place' which gives
+ the current behaviour, 'warn' and 'error' issue a warning or error
+ respectively when orphan sections are found, and 'discard' will discard all
+ orphan sections.
+
+* Add support for LLVM plugin.
+
+* Add --print-memory-usage option to report memory blocks usage.
+
+* Add --require-defined option, it's like --undefined except the new symbol
+ must be defined by the end of the link.
+
+Changes in 2.25:
+
+* PE binaries now once again contain real timestamps by default. To disable
+ the inclusion of a timestamp in a PE binary, use the --no-insert-timestamp
+ command line option.
+
+* Replace support for openrisc and or32 with support for or1k.
+
+* Add support for the --build-id command line option to COFF based targets.
+
+* x86/x86_64 pe-coff now supports the --build-id option.
+
+* Add support for the Andes NDS32.
+
+Changes in 2.24:
+
+* Add LOG2CEIL() builtin function to the linker script language
+
+* Add support for the Texas Instruments MSP430X processor.
+
+* Add support for Altera Nios II.
+
+* Add support for the V850E3V5 architecture.
+
+* Add support for the Imagination Technologies Meta processor.
+
+* --enable-new-dtags no longer generates old dtags in addition to new dtags.
+
+* Remove linker support for MIPS ECOFF targets.
+
+* Add ALIGN_WITH_INPUT to the linker script language to force the alignment of
+ an output section to use the maximum alignment of all its input sections.
+
+Changes in 2.23:
+
+* Enable compressed debug section feature for x86/x86_64 pe-coff.
+
+* Add support for the 64-bit ARM architecture: AArch64.
+
* Added SORT_NONE to the linker script language to disable section sorting.
* Add a linker-provided symbol when producing ELF output, '__ehdr_start'
other utilities should work on Risc/Ultrix and Irix.
