This could have been fixed by\n    renumbering relocations, which would keep object files created by an\n    older version of gas compatible with a newer ld.  However, that would\n    require an ABI update, affecting other assemblers and linkers that\n    create and process the relocations correctly.  It is recommended that\n    all VLE object files be recompiled, but ld can modify the relocations\n    if --vle-reloc-fixup is passed to ld.  If the new ld command line\n    option is not used, ld will ld warn on finding relocations inconsistent\n    with the instructions being relocated.\n  * The nm program has a new command line option (--with-version-strings)\n    which will display a symbol's version information, if any, after the\n    symbol's name.\n  * The ARC port of objdump now accepts a -M option to specify the extra\n    instruction class(es) that should be disassembled.\n  * The --remove-section option for objcopy and strip now accepts section\n    patterns starting with an exclamation point to indicate a non-matching\n    section.  A non-matching section is removed from the set of sections\n    matched by an earlier --remove-section pattern.\n  * The --only-section option for objcopy now accepts section patterns\n    starting with an exclamation point to indicate a non-matching section.\n    A non-matching section is removed from the set of sections matched by\n    an earlier --only-section pattern.\n  * New --remove-relocations=SECTIONPATTERN option for objcopy and strip.\n    This option can be used to remove sections containing relocations.\n    The SECTIONPATTERN is the section to which the relocations apply, not\n    the relocation section itself.\n\n- GAS specific:\n\n  * Add support for the RISC-V architecture.\n  * Add support for the ARM Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 processors.\n\n- GNU ld specific:\n\n  * The EXCLUDE_FILE linker script construct can now be applied outside of the\n    section list in order for the exclusions to apply over all input sections\n    in the list.\n  * Add support for the RISC-V architecture.\n  * The command line option --no-eh-frame-hdr can now be used in ELF based\n    linkers to disable the automatic generation of .eh_frame_hdr sections.\n  * Add --in-implib=\u003cinfile\u003e to the ARM linker to enable specifying a set of\n    Secure Gateway veneers that must exist in the output import library\n    specified by --out-implib=\u003coutfile\u003e and the address they must have.\n    As such, --in-implib is only supported in combination with --cmse-implib.\n  * Extended the --out-implib=\u003cfile\u003e option, previously restricted to x86 PE\n    targets, to any ELF based target.  This allows the generation of an import\n    library for an ELF executable, which can then be used by another application\n    to link against the executable.\n\n- GOLD specific:\n\n  * Add -z bndplt option (x86-64 only) to support Intel MPX.\n  * Add --orphan-handling option.\n  * Add --stub-group-multi option (PowerPC only).\n  * Add --target1-rel, --target1-abs, --target2 options (Arm only).\n  * Add -z stack-size option.\n  * Add --be8 option (Arm only).\n  * Add HIDDEN support in linker scripts.\n  * Add SORT_BY_INIT_PRIORITY support in linker scripts.\n\n- Other fixes:\n\n  * Fix section alignment on .gnu_debuglink.

Default to\n    yes, except for x86 Solaris targets older than Solaris 12.\n  * New command line option -mrelax-relocations= for x86 target to control\n    whether to generate relax relocations.\n  * New command line option -mfence-as-lock-add=yes for x86 target to encode\n    lfence, mfence and sfence as 'lock addl $0x0, (%[re]sp)'.\n  * Add assembly-time relaxation option for ARC cpus.\n  * Add --with-cpu=TYPE configure option for ARC gas.  This allows the default\n    cpu type to be adjusted at configure time.\n\n- GOLD specific:\n\n  * Add a configure option --enable-relro to decide whether -z relro should\n    be enabled by default.  Default to yes.\n  * Add support for s390, MIPS, AArch64, and TILE-Gx architectures.\n  * Add support for STT_GNU_IFUNC symbols.\n  * Add support for incremental linking (--incremental).\n\n- GNU ld specific:\n\n  * Add a configure option --enable-relro to decide whether -z relro should\n    be enabled in ELF linker by default.  Default to yes for all Linux\n    targets except FRV, HPPA, IA64 and MIPS.\n  * Support for -z noreloc-overflow in the x86-64 ELF linker to disable\n    relocation overflow check.\n  * Add -z common/-z nocommon options for ELF targets to control whether to\n    convert common symbols to the STT_COMMON type during a relocatable link.\n  * Support for -z nodynamic-undefined-weak in the x86 ELF linker, which\n    avoids dynamic relocations against undefined weak symbols in executable.\n  * The NOCROSSREFSTO command was added to the linker script language.\n  * Add --no-apply-dynamic-relocs to the AArch64 linker to do not apply\n    link-time values for dynamic relocations.\n\n","status":"published","published":"2017-11-30T21:58:48Z","modified":"2026-02-04T03:41:51.070456Z","updated_at":"2026-11-02T15:53:44.209561Z"}]}}
