+* The linker will now generate a warning message if the stack is made
+ executable. By default this warning is not issued if the user has
+ specifically requested an executable stack via the "-z execstack"
+ command line option, but the warning can be forced via the new
+ "--warn-execstack" option. Alternatively all warnings about creating
+ an executable stack can be suppressed via the "--no-warn-execstack"
+ option.

* TYPE=<type> is now supported in an output section description to set the
section type value.
