* Add support for Sunplus score architecture.
+* The .type pseudo-op now accepts a type of STT_GNU_IFUNC which can be used to
+ indicate that if the symbol is the target of a relocation, its value should
+ not be use. Instead the function should be invoked and its result used as
+ the value.

* Add support for Lattice Mico32 (lm32) architecture.
