Changes since version 2.3:
* New linker code, by Steve Chamberlain and Ian Taylor. For a.out and ecoff
formats (so far), this should result in considerable savings in time
and memory used while linking; slightly poorer performance than
before for formats not converted yet.
* Irix 5 support.
* Command-line parsing is no longer done with flex. This means
oddball characters in filenames won't get treated as argument
separators.
* HP-PA ELF support, by Jeff Law. (No SOM support yet.)
* PowerPC and RS/6000 support, by Ian Taylor.
* Mach i386 support, by David Mackenzie.
Changes since version 2.2:
* Weak symbols are now supported.
* ELF support has been added. The linker has been bootstrapped on
UnixWare and Solaris.
* Alpha OSF/1 support has been added (non dynamic linking only).
Changes since version 2.1:
* The `bfd' library has been updated to reduce a.out-format string
table size. The effect of this is that files linked from many input
files with duplicate symbols (`-g' debugging records, or identical
static symbols) should be much smaller.
Changes since version 2.0:
* The ld -ySYMBOL flag (to trace references to SYMBOL) is now implemented.
* There is now support for writing ECOFF files, so ld and the
other utilities should work on Risc/Ultrix and Irix.
