* NEWS: Mention change in linker script expression evaluation. ld/ * ld.texinfo (Expression Section): Detail expression evaluation. (Builtin Functions <ADDR>): Correct. (Builtin Functions <LOADADDR>): Don't mention LOADADDR normally the same as ADDR. (Builtin Functions <SEGMENT_START>): Typo fix. * ldexp.c (new_number): New function. (make_abs, exp_get_abs_int): Cope with NULL expld.result.section. (fold_unary <'~', '!', '-'>): Don't make_abs. (fold_binary): Simplify result section logic. Return NULL section for logical ops. (fold_binary <SEGMENT_START>): Use new_rel_from_abs to set value to a consistent result. (fold_name <SIZEOF_HEADERS>): Return new_number, not new_abs. (fold_name <DEFINED, SIZEOF, ALIGNOF, LENGTH, CONSTANT>): Likewise. (fold_name <NAME>): No need to handle absolute symbols differently from relative ones. (fold_name <ORIGIN>): Don't return valid result when lang_first_phase_enum. Return new_rel_from_abs, not new_abs. (exp_fold_tree_1 <etree_value>): Return new_number, not new_rel. (exp_fold_tree_1): Ajust for NULL expld.result.section. When assigning a plain number to dot, assume the value is relative to expld.section. Make terms not in an output section, absolute. * ldlang.c (print_assignment): Fix style nit. (lang_size_sections_1): Cope with NULL expld.result.section. (lang_do_assignments_1): Likewise. ld/testsuite/ * ld-scripts/memory.t: Remove ORIGIN fudge.

+* Linker script expression evaluation is somewhat more sane. This may
+ break scripts that depend on quirks of the old expression evaluation.

* Add support for the TMS320C6000 (TI C6X) processor family.
* Readelf can now display ARM unwind tables (.ARM.exidx / .ARM.extab) using
