  * Szabolcs: Just general issues. Distro perspective.
 * x86: Check PT_GNU_PROPERTY early (HJ)
  * Changes requested by Noah e.g. refactor vs. new functionality.
 * Do not build sparc32 libgcc functions into static libc (Joseph)
 * sysdeps/x86/Makefile: Split and sort tests (HJ)
  * Reviewed by Noah.
 * Generic x86-64 CPU diagnostics dumper (Florian)
  * Only during the diagnostics.
