+      <p>The ELF Tool Chain project provides BSD-licensed
+	implementations of compilation tools and libraries for building
+	and analyzing ELF objects.  The project began as part of &os;
+	but later became an independent project in order to encourage
+	wider participation from others in the open-source developer
+	community.</p>
+
+      <p>In the last quarter of 2015 the ELF Tool Chain tools were
+	updated to a snapshot of upstream Subversion revision 3272.
+	Improvements include better input file validation, RISC-V
+	support, support for Xen ELF notes, additional MIPS and ARM
+	relocations, better performance, and bug fixes.</p>
+
+      <p>The ELF Tool Chain project is planning a new release in
+	the first quarter of 2016, which should facilitate wider
+	testing and use by projects other than &os;.</p>
