Thanks @JonPsson1 ! In addition, I see the following user-visible changes:

• Support -munaligned-symbols command line option
• Support SystemZ target in llvm-objcopy
• Support OpenMP library on SystemZ

Can you add those as well?

[JonPsson1]

Looks like #73511 "munaligned-symbols" 34dd8ec never made it into the 18-release branch...

Ah OK, I had missed that.

LGTM, thanks!
