* Support for the x32 ABI on x86-64 added. The x32 target is selected by
configuring glibc with:
* Optimized expf for x86-32 and x86-64. Implemented by Liubov Dmitrieva.
-* More optimized functions for PowerPC. Implemented by Adhemerval Zanella.
+* More optimized functions for PowerPC. Implemented by Adhemerval Zanella
+ and Will Schmidt.
* More optimized functions for SPARC. Implemented by David S. Miller.
/lib/ld-linux.so.3 dynamic linker used for the base EABI.
* Support for CRIS has been removed from ports.
+
+* A new class of installed header has been documented for low-level
+ platform-specific functionality. PowerPC added the first instance with a
+ function to provide time base register access. Contributed by Tulio
+ Magno Quites Machado Filho.
+
+* ix86 configurations now install header files that are consistent with
+ what x86-64 configurations install. These same header files can be used
+ for -m32, -m64, or -mx32 builds.
+ Contributed by H.J. Lu.
+
+* Math library bug fixes. A thorough audit of all open math library bugs was
+ conducted by Joseph Myers. Significant progress was made on many math
+ library bugs resulting in more accurate exceptions and function results.
+ Many thanks to all those that contributed including Andreas Jaeger for his
+ patch review and work on the x87 trigonometric instruction issues.
+
+* Timezone data is no longer installed. Timezone-related binaries and scripts
+ will continue to be installed. Users should obtain their timezone data from
+ their distribution provider or from the tzdata package at
+ <ftp://munnari.oz.au/pub/>.
