+* Support added for eliminating duplicate DWARF2 debug information by
+ having the compiler generate the information in sections called
+ .gnu.linkonce.wi.XXXX where XXXX is a checksum for the contents. The
+ linker then merges these sections together into the normal .debug_info
+ section.
* The native ELF linker now searches the directories in DT_RUNPATH or
DT_RPATH of a shared library for shared libraries needed by it.
