+* GNU/Linux targets now support the STB_GNU_UNIQUE symbol binding.  This is a
+  GNU extension to the standard set of ELF symbol bindings.  The binding will
+  be passed on to the dynamic linker which will make sure that in the entire
+  process there is just one symbol with the given name and type in use.
+
+* PE targets now support a GNU extension to allow the alignment of common
+  common symbols to be specified.  This support uses custom options in
+  the .drectve section, which will be disregarded by the native tools.
+
+* PE targets now add primitive support for ELF version scripts; symbols
+  are not versioned, but the local and global symbol visibility directives
+  are respected when filtering symbols in auto-export mode.
 
 * New option --no-export-dynamic to undo the effect of the -E and
   --export-dynamic options.
