+How GNU properties are merged.
+
+When the linker merges input .note.gnu.property sections into one output
+.note.gnu.property section, some properties are removed or updated.
+These actions are reported in the link map. For example:
+
+@smallexample
+Removed property 0xc0000002 to merge foo.o (0x1) and bar.o (not found)
+@end smallexample
+
+This indicates that property 0xc0000002 is removed from output when
+merging properties in @file{foo.o}, whose property 0xc0000002 value
+is 0x1, and @file{bar.o}, which doesn't have property 0xc0000002.
+
+@smallexample
+Updated property 0xc0010001 (0x1) to merge foo.o (0x1) and bar.o (0x1)
+@end smallexample
+
+This indicates that property 0xc0010001 value is updated to 0x1 in output
+when merging properties in @file{foo.o}, whose 0xc0010001 property value
+is 0x1, and @file{bar.o}, whose 0xc0010001 property value is 0x1.
