+* Add a configure option, --enable-textrel-check=[no|yes|warning|error],
+  to decide what ELF linker should do by default with DT_TEXTREL in an
+  executable or shared library.
+
+* The -Map=<filename> command line option has been extended so that if
+  <filename> is a directory then <filename>/<output-filename>.map will be
+  created.
+
+* Add a command-line option for ELF linker, --warn-textrel, to warn that
+  DT_TEXTREL is set in a position-independent executable or shared object.
+
+* Add command-line options --enable-non-contiguous-regions and
+  --enable-non-contiguous-regions-warnings.
+
+* Add command-line option --imagic for the pdp11-aout target to output format
+  IMAGIC (0411) for separate instruction and data spaces, and change the
+  default format option for pdp11-aout to be --omagic.
+
+* Relative pathnames in INPUT() and GROUP() directives in linker scripts are
+  searched relative to the directory of the linker script before other search
+  paths.
+
 Changes in 2.34:
 
+* The ld check for "PHDR segment not covered by LOAD segment" is more
+  effective, catching cases that were wrongly allowed by previous versions of
+  ld.  If you see this error it is likely you are linking with a bad linker
+  script or the binary you are building is not intended to be loaded by a
+  dynamic loader.  In the latter case --no-dynamic-linker is appropriate.
+
 * cr16c support removed.
 
 * Add support for z80-elf.
