+* The native ELF linker now searches the directories in DT_RUNPATH or
+  DT_RPATH of a shared library for shared libraries needed by it.
+
+* TI C54x support, by Timothy Wall.
+
+* Added command line switch --section-start to set the start address of any
+  specified section. 
+
+* Added ability to emit full relocation information in linked executables,
+  enabled by --emit-relocs.  Some post-linkage optimization tools need
+  this information in order to be able to correctly identify and perform
+  symbol relative addressing in the event of changes in section contents
+  (instructions being added or deleted, extending data sections, etc.)
+
+* Support for i860, by Jason Eckhardt (preliminary, alpha quality).
+
 Changes in version 2.10:
 
+* Added AT> to the linker script language to allow load-time allocation of 
+  sections into regions.
+
 * Added garbage collection of unused sections, enabled by --gc-sections. 
   It does require a bit of backend support; currently implemented are
-  ppc-elf, mips-elf, and mn10300-elf.  Others will ignore the option.

+  Others will ignore the option.
 
 * Added SORT to the linker script language to permit sorting sections by file
   name or section name.

 * Added ASSERT to the linker script language.
 
+* Added EXCLUDE_FILE to the linker script language for further control over
+  wildcard file names.
+
 * Added -O option to optimize linker output (as of this writing, this only
 affects ELF shared library generation).
 
 * The -e option now accepts a number as well as a symbol name.
 
+* Added --no-undefined option to disallow undefined symbols when creating a
+  shared library.
+
+* The linker now issues a warning, not an error, for an undefined symbol when

 * Added --demangle and --no-demangle options.
