Major new features:
+* The GNU C Library now has correct support for ABSOLUTE symbols
+ (SHN_ABS-relative symbols). Previously such ABSOLUTE symbols were
+ relocated incorrectly or in some cases discarded. The GNU linker can
+ make use of the newer semantics, but it must communicate it to the
+ dynamic loader by setting the ELF file's identification (EI_ABIVERSION
+ field) to indicate such support is required.
+
* Unicode 11.0.0 Support: Character encoding, character type info, and
transliteration tables are all updated to Unicode 11.0.0, using
generator scripts contributed by Mike FABIAN (Red Hat).
