Major new features:
- [Add new features here]
+* Support for DT_RELR relative relocation format has been added to
+ glibc. This is a new ELF dynamic tag that improves the size of
+ relative relocations in shared object files and position independent
+ executables (PIE). DT_RELR generation requires linker support for
+ -z pack-relative-relocs option, which is supported for some targets
+ in recent binutils versions. Lazy binding doesn't apply to DT_RELR.
Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
