+* PE targets now support a GNU extension to allow the alignment of common
+ common symbols to be specified. This support uses custom options in
+ the .drectve section, which will be disregarded by the native tools.
+
* PE targets now add primitive support for ELF version scripts; symbols
are not versioned, but the local and global symbol visibility directives
are respected when filtering symbols in auto-export mode.
