What changes does 2.22 bring in, it would be nice to have a little
summary e.g.

http://cygwin.com/ml/binutils/2011-08/msg00129.html

changes default behaviour of linker which needs some mention in such
upgrades since it will bite many packages which dont have proper
dependencies specified.

And I think it would be better to leave the older release recipes in for a while
for at least toolchain components while the new versions gets soaked
in. Given now we have layers its better that way to give some time for
other layers also to test the new version

Thanks
