+* Option --dwarf/-W of objdump is now as flexible as readelf --debug-dump/-w.
+
+* --as-needed now links in a dynamic library if it satisfies undefined
+ symbols in regular objects, or in other dynamic libraries. In the
+ latter case the library is not linked if it is found in a DT_NEEDED
+ entry of one of the libraries already linked.
+
* Added --prefix=PREFIX and --prefix-strip=LEVEL switches to objdump to
add absolute paths for -S.
