   C Library is GCC 4.9.  Older GCC versions, and non-GNU compilers, can
   still be used to compile programs using the GNU C Library.
 
+* Support is added, on powerpc64le, for interfaces supporting the _Float128
+  type from ISO/IEC TS 18661-3:2015.  Most of the interfaces are taken from
+  TS 18661-3.  The type-generic macros in <math.h> support this type, but
+  those in <tgmath.h> do not.  The GNU C Library now requires GCC 6.2 or
+  later to build for powerpc64le.  When used with GCC versions before GCC
+  7, these interfaces may be used with the type under the non-standard name
+  __float128.
+
+  New <stdlib.h> functions from ISO/IEC TS 18661-3:
+
+    - String Conversion Functions: strfromf128 and strtof128.
