  - Add support for ELF GNU program properties.

  - Add support for the Texas Instruments PRU processor.

  - When configuring for arc*-*-linux* targets the default     linker emulation will change if --with-cpu=nps400 is     used at configure time.

  - Improve assignment of LMAs to orphan sections in some     edge cases where a mixture of both AT>LMA_REGION and     AT(LMA) are used.

  - Orphan sections placed after an empty section that has     an AT(LMA) will now take an load memory address starting     from LMA.

  - Section groups can now be resolved (the group deleted     and the group members placed like normal sections) at     partial link time either using the new linker option
    --force-group-allocation or by placing     FORCE_GROUP_ALLOCATION into the linker script.

  - Add riscv64 target, tested with gcc7 and downstream     newlib 2.4.0

  - Prepare riscv32 target (gh#riscv/riscv-newlib#8)

  - Make compressed debug section handling explicit, disable     for old products and enable for gas on all architectures     otherwise. [bsc#1029995]

  - Remove empty rpath component removal optimization from     to workaround CMake rpath handling. [bsc#1025282]

    Minor security bugs fixed: PR 21147, PR 21148, PR 21149,     PR 21150, PR 21151, PR 21155, PR 21158, PR 21159

  - Update to binutils 2.28.

  - Add support for locating separate debug info files using     the build-id method, where the separate file has a name     based upon the build-id of the original file.

  - This version of binutils fixes a problem with PowerPC     VLE 16A and 16D relocations which were functionally     swapped, for example, R_PPC_VLE_HA16A performed like     R_PPC_VLE_HA16D while R_PPC_VLE_HA16D performed like     R_PPC_VLE_HA16A. This could have been fixed by     renumbering relocations, which would keep object files     created by an older version of gas compatible with a     newer ld. However, that would require an ABI update,     affecting other assemblers and linkers that create and     process the relocations correctly. It is recommended     that all VLE object files be recompiled, but ld can     modify the relocations if --vle-reloc-fixup is passed to     ld. If the new ld command line option is not used, ld     will ld warn on finding relocations inconsistent with     the instructions being relocated.

  - The nm program has a new command line option     (--with-version-strings) which will display a symbol's     version information, if any, after the symbol's name.

  - The ARC port of objdump now accepts a -M option to     specify the extra instruction class(es) that should be     disassembled.

  - 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 an     earlier --only-section pattern.

  - 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.

  - GAS specific :

  - Add support for the RISC-V architecture.

  - Add support for the ARM Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33     processors.

  - GNU ld specific :

  - The EXCLUDE_FILE linker script construct can now be     applied outside of the section list in order for the     exclusions to apply over all input sections in the list.

  - Add support for the RISC-V architecture.

  - The command line option --no-eh-frame-hdr can now be     used in ELF based linkers to disable the automatic     generation of .eh_frame_hdr sections.

  - Add --in-implib=<infile> to the ARM linker to enable     specifying a set of Secure Gateway veneers that must     exist in the output import library specified by
    --out-implib=<outfile> and the address they must have.
    As such, --in-implib is only supported in combination     with --cmse-implib.

  - Extended the --out-implib=<file> option, previously     restricted to x86 PE targets, to any ELF based target.
    This allows the generation of an import library for an     ELF executable, which can then be used by another     application to link against the executable.

  - Add --no-pad-sections to stop the assembler from padding     the end of output sections up to their alignment     boundary.

  - Support for the ARMv8-M architecture has been added to     the ARM port. Support for the ARMv8-M Security and DSP     Extensions has also been added to the ARM port.

  - ARC backend accepts .extInstruction, .extCondCode,     .extAuxRegister, and .extCoreRegister pseudo-ops that     allow an user to define custom instructions, conditional     codes, auxiliary and core registers.

  - Add a configure option --enable-elf-stt-common to decide     whether ELF assembler should generate common symbols     with the STT_COMMON type by default. Default to no.

  - New command line option -mrelax-relocations= for x86     target to control whether to generate relax relocations.

  - New command line option -mfence-as-lock-add=yes for x86     target to encode lfence, mfence and sfence as 'lock addl     $0x0, (%[re]sp)'.

  - Add assembly-time relaxation option for ARC cpus.

  - Add --with-cpu=TYPE configure option for ARC gas. This     allows the default cpu type to be adjusted at configure     time.

  - GOLD specific :

  - Add a configure option --enable-relro to decide whether
    -z relro should be enabled by default. Default to yes.

  - Add support for s390, MIPS, AArch64, and TILE-Gx     architectures.

  - Add support for STT_GNU_IFUNC symbols.

  - Add support for incremental linking (--incremental).

  - GNU ld specific :

  - Add a configure option --enable-relro to decide whether
    -z relro should be enabled in ELF linker by default.
    Default to yes for all Linux targets except FRV, HPPA,     IA64 and MIPS.

  - 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.

  - The NOCROSSREFSTO command was added to the linker script     language.
