 * The `btowc' function should work at least twice as fast due to
   specialized callbacks in the iconv modules.  Implemented by Bruno Haible.
+
+* With approriate thread add-ons cancelable functions are now implemented
+  in libc.so as well.  No need to call the function in libpthread.  This
+  change allowed to finally disable the incorrect and expensive handling
+  of weak definition in ld.so.
+
+* Yet more PLT entries in libc.so have been removed.  We finally arrived
+  at the bare minimum.  Startup times improved appropriately.
+
+* Support for the new Linux/x86 system call interface was added.  The
+  AT_SYSINFO auxiliary vector entry is recognized and handled.
