 [ **]  The RPC code is not 64 bit clean.  This is getting slowly fixed
        but expect incompatible changes on 64 bit platforms like Alpha.
 
+[ **]  If a DSO is using implicitly libpthread and the application itself
+       does not there is a name lookup problem.  E.g., the function fork()
+       will be found in the libc.so instead of libpthread since the thread
+       library is behind the libc.  To correct this problem it must *not*
+       be relied on the currently still enabled handling of weak symbols
+       in the dynamic linker.  Instead explicit tests for the availability
+       of the libpthread version are needed.  [PR libc/2325]

 [  *]  The precision of the `sinhl' and/or `asinhl' function do not seem
        to be the best.
