+* A new configure option, --with-rtld-early-cflags, can be used to
+  specify additional compiler flags for building the early startup code
+  of the dynamic linker.  On targets which have CPU compatibility

 Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
 
 * On x86-64, the LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC environment variable support
