<h3 class="section">8.2 Defining New Object Attributes</h3>
<p>If you want to define a new <small>GNU</small> object attribute, here are the places you
will need to modify. New attributes should be discussed on the &lsquo;<samp>binutils</samp>&rsquo;
mailing list.
</p>
<ul>
<li> This manual, which is the official register of attributes.
</li><li> The header for your architecture <samp>include/elf</samp>, to define the tag.
</li><li> The <samp>bfd</samp> support file for your architecture, to merge the attribute
and issue any appropriate link warnings.
</li><li> Test cases in <samp>ld/testsuite</samp> for merging and link warnings.
</li><li> <samp>binutils/readelf.c</samp> to display your attribute.
</li><li> GCC, if you want the compiler to mark the attribute automatically.
</li></ul>
