When glibc is enabled with the new GNU_PROPERTY_X86_XXX bits:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/x86-64-abi/-D05GQ3kWrA

BFD will issue an unknown GNU property warning like

warning: tmpdir/ld1: unsupported GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE (5) type: 0xc0010001

It is OK for older binutils to ignore these new types.  You just don't
get new features with older binutils.  This set of patches to add
experimental to indicate whether this is a release branch.  On release
branches, these unknown GNU property warnings are ignored.
