+* objcopy and strip now accept --only-keep-debug to create a file containing
+ those sections that would be stripped out by --strip-debug. The idea is that
+ this can be used in conjunction with the --add-gnu-debuglink switch to create
+ a two part program distribution - one a stripped executable and the other the
+ debugging info.

* objcopy now accepts --add-gnu-debuglink=<file> to insert a .gnu_debuglink
section into a (presumably stripped) executable. This allows the debug
information for the file to be held in a seperate file.
