 - workaround for bugs in linux mprotect syscall
 - thread-safety for random() functions
 - various minor issues

+0.8.0 release notes
+
+new features:
+- chinese and japanese legacy charset support in iconv
+- zero-syscall clock_gettime support (dynamic-linked x86_64 only)
+- futex-based locking for stdio (previously used spinlocks)
+- LD_PRELOAD and RTLD_NEXT support in dynamic linker
+- strptime (mostly working but incomplete)
+- posix aio (mostly working but not entirely conformant)
+- memory streams (fmemopen, open_memstream, ...)
+- stub/dummy implementations for various useless legacy functions
+- if_nameindex
+
+security hardening:
+- setuid, etc. should not longer be able to "partially fail" with threads
+- ensure suid programs start with fd 0,1,2 open
+- improved openpty/forkpty failure checks
+
+threads/synchronization bug fixes:
+- dangerous spurious wakeup in pthread_join lead to early return
+- race condition enabling async cancellation (delayed/lost cancellation)
+- destruction/unmapping race conditions in semaphores, mutexes, rwlocks
+- recursive rwlock_rdlock deadlock when a writer is waiting
+- race condition in sigqueue with fork
+- timer expiration thread exit wasn't running dtors
+- timer threads weren't blocking signals
+- close was wrongly cancellable after succeeding on some devices
+- robust mutex list was not reset on fork
+
+general bug fixes:
+- incorrect logic in fread (spurious blocking; crash on write-only files)
+- many corner cases and overflow cases for strtol-family functions
+- various printf integer formatting issues with flags/width/precision
+- incorrect iconv return value on failure
+- broken FD_* macros on 64-bit targets
+- clock function returning wrong value (real time not cpu time)
+- siglongjmp signal mask clobbering (off-by-one pointer error)
+- dynamic linker weak symbol resolution issues
+- fdopendir failure to set errno
+- various minor header fixes
+
+
+
+0.8.1 release notes
+
+bug fixes:
+- mismatching prototypes caused build failure on 64-bit
+- other minor prototype errors in the headers have been fixed
+- various other small omissions fixed
+
+
+
+0.8.2 release notes
+
+new features:
+- ptrace syscall support
+
+bug fixes:
+- const error (only a warning with many compilers) in lio_listio
+- minor portability fixes aimed at supporting new arch targets
+
+
+
+0.8.3 release notes
+
+new features:
+- arm port (experimental)
+- better musl-gcc wrapper script for building against musl
+- added clone system call
+
+bug fixes:
+- numerous header file typos, copy/paste errors, omissions
+- statfs and statvfs ABI are now LSB-conformant (and actually work)
+
+
+
+0.8.4 release notes
+
+new features: 
+- arm dynamic linker support
+- process-shared pthread barriers now work
+- efficient futex-requeue-based cond var broadcast
+- more optional cancellation points are now cancellable
+- printf accepts null pointers with %s, prints as "(null)"
+- recursive mutexes are now fully reentrant
+- __cxa_atexit support
+- real vfork
+- dynamic linker now gold-compatible
+- prlimit syscall
+- support for large limits with setrlimit/getrlimit (even on 32-bit)
+- glob now supports GLOB_PERIOD option (GNU extension)
+
+bug fixes:
+- many serious issues in condition variables
+- rwlock failure-to-wake deadlock issues
+- various small header files bugs/omissions
+- wrong failure return for pthread_create
+- path handling issues on execvp
+- lock count corruption with robust recursive mutexes on owner death
+- integer overflows in atoi, etc. reading most-negative value
+- spurious mremaps on every realloc of large memory chunks
+- pthread cancellation failure in single-threaded programs
+
+security:
+- avoid fd_set overflow in dns lookups
