* Support for OpenRISC by Johan Rydberg.
+* New command line switch to objcopy --alt-machine-code which creates a binary
+ with an alternate machine code if one is defined in the architecture
+ description. Only supported for ELF targets. By Alexandre Oliva.
+
* New command line switch to objcopy -B (or --binary-architecture) which sets
the architecture of the output file to the given argument. This option only
makes sense, if the input target is binary. Otherwise it is ignored.
