All of these except the ARM asm and symlink direction are finished. I
still want to do the symlink direction, but I'm looking for a clean
solution to the problem that it breaks build-only installs where the
user does not have permissions to install the dynamic loader.

But basically, this means the goals for release have largely been met.

Of these, getifaddrs is mostly done and presently in the repository.
Haven't seen any action on the rest. As mentioned in the recent scanf
thread, I discovered some conformance issues in scanf related to
implementation of the %m modifier, and these will need to wait until
after the next release. Haven't seen any interest in addressing the
others, so they'll need to wait too, I think.
