+* For GNU/Linux systems the linker will now forego processing any relocations
+ made against symbols of the STT_IFUNC type and instead emit them into
+ the resulting binary for processing by the loader.
* Add CR16 ELF --embedded-relocs (used to embedded relocations into binaries
for Embedded-PIC code) option.
