+* The linker's --stats option can take an optional argument which if used is
+ interpreted as a filename into which resource usage information should be
+ stored. As an alternative mechanism the LD_STATS environment variable can
+ also be used to achieve the same results. Resource usage information for
+ various phases of the linking operation is now included in the report.
+ If a map file is being produced then the information is also included there.
+ The --no-stats option can be used to disable stat reporting, should it have
+ been enabled.

* Remove the linker -taso option for Alpha target, as Linux/Alpha kernel
support for 32-bit pointers has been removed.
