I think "added and enabled by default" would be better.

Does it mean we need to make sure GCC 13 released after binutils-2.40? 
binutils-2.39 release branch is already created and it's now explicitly
"no new feature" so a backport seems impossible...

"from la.global + jirl to bl with -fno-plt and -mexplicit-relocs"?  With
"-fplt" GCC 12 is already using bl, and with -mno-explicit-relocs
la.global is still used (if I read func-call-3.c correctly).

"-fsection-anchors is enabled by default at <code>-O1</code> and higher
optimization levels for better code generation".

I don't think this paragraph is necessary because this change is purely
internal.
