    5. Module summary section now breaks out input object files and input object archives for a better summary presentation.
    6. Linker modified to process R_ARM_TARGET2 relocations identically to the GNU linker. This is in conflict with the handling of R_ARM_TARGET2 defined by the document "ELF for the Arm Architecture", ARM Limited, but is required to make C++ exception handling work with the existing GCC, clang, and libunwind framework. Only use with the GNU and clang toolsets is guaranteed and tested to work with this change.
    7. Creation of synthetic output sections for fixed-size blocks created in the linker script that combine no sections (e.g. stack and heap blocks). This assists Embedded Studio to display memory usage after build, or in the Memory Usage window, accurately.
