* Port to Native Client running on ARMv7-A (--host=arm-nacl).
Contributed by Roland McGrath (Google).
+
+* The header <regexp.h> is deprecated, and will be removed in a future
+ release. Use of this header will trigger a deprecation warning.
+ Application developers should update their code to use <regex.h> instead.
+
+ This header was formerly part of SUSv2, but was deprecated in 1997 and
+ removed from the standard in 2001. Also, the glibc implementation
+ leaks memory. See BZ#18681 for more details.
