Ok, so what should I say in the binutils announcement message?

Is this adequate?

This version contains fixes to detect pathological conditions when the
ld's auto-import option option cannot work properly.  The previous
version of ld silently produced buggy code.  This version issues an
error and suggests methods for dealing with the problem.

This version also has a fix for a memory leak condition which caused
ld (or is it dlltool?) to mushroom in size when producing large dlls.

FWIW, the package is uploading now.
