   to a mising GNU_STACK ELF header or explicit explicitly because of the
   executable bit in GNU_STACK.  The default is to allow executable stacks.
 
+* Support for the extensible rseq ABI introduced in the Linux kernel version
+  6.3 has been added. The size and alignment of the rseq area is now
+  determined by auxiliary vector entries when provided by the running kernel.
+  While there are no user visible changes yet, this will allow accessing rseq
+  features past the original 32 bytes ABI once they are introduced in future
+  Linux kernels.
+
 Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
 
 * The big-endian ARC port (arceb-linux-gnu) has been removed.
