Changes in version 2.10:
+* 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.)
+
* Added AT> to the linker script language to allow load-time allocation of
sections into regions.
