+Since 6.0:
+ - Non-debug, atomic allocations could result in bogus smashed object

+ - Fixed GC_get_register_stack_base (Itanium only) to work around a glibc

+ - Initial port to HP/UX on Itanium.  Thread support and both 32 and 64

+   some inline assembly code issues.  Thread local allocation does appear
+   to work.
+ - ifdef'ed out glibc2.1/Itanium workaround.  I suspect nobody is using
+   that combination anymore.
+ - Added a patch to make new_gc_alloc.h usable with gcc3.0.  (Thanks to
+   Dimitris Vyzovitis for the patch.)
+ - Debugged 64-bit support on HP/UX PA-RISC.
+ - Turned on dynamic loading support for FreeBSD/ELF.  (Thanks to Peter

+ - Unregistering of finalizers with debugging allocation was broken.

+ - Cleaned up some statistics gathering code in reclaim.c (Thanks to Walter
+   Bright.)
+ - Added some support for OpenBSD/ELF/Linux.  (Thanks to Suzuki Toshiya.)
+ - Added Jakub Jelinek's patch to use dl_iterate_phdr for dynamic library
+   traversal to dyn_load.c.  Changed it to weakly reference dl_iterate_phdr,
+   so that the old code is stilll used with old versions of glibc.
+ - Cleaned up feature test macros for various threads packages and
+   integrated (partially functional) FreeBSD threads code from Loren Rittle.
+   It's likely that the cleanup broke something, since it touched lots of
+   code.  It's also likelly that it fixed some unreported bugs in the
+   less common thread implementations, since some of the original code
+   didn't stand up to close scrutiny.  Support for the next pthreads
+   implementation should be easier to add.
+Since 6.0alpha1:
+ - No longer wrap read by default in multithreaded applications.  It was
+   pointed out on the libgcj list that this holds the allocation lock for
+   way too long if the read blocks.  For now, reads into the heap are
+   broken with incremental collection.  It's possible to turn this back on
+   if you make sure that read calls don't block (e.g. by calling select
+   first).
+ - Fix ifdef in Solaris_threads.h to refer to GC_SOLARIS_THREADS.
+ - Added check for environment variable GC_IGNORE_GCJ_INFO.
+ - Added printing of stop-the-world GC times if GC_PRINT_STATS environment
+   variable is set.
+ - The calloc definition in leak_detector.h was missing parentheses, and
+   realloc was missing a second argument to GC_REALLOC.  (Thanks to Elrond.)
+ - Added GC_PRINT_BACK_HEIGHT environment variable and associated
+   code, mostly in the new file backgraph.c.  See doc/README.environment.
+ - Added -DUSE_GLOBAL_ALLOC to work around a Windows NT issue.  (Thanks to
+   Jonathan Clark.)
+ - Integrated port to NEC EWS4800 (MIPS-based workstation, with somewhat
+   different address-space layout). This may help for other machines with
+   holes in the data segment.  (Thanks to Hironori Sakamoto.)
+ - Changed the order in which GC_push_roots and friends push things onto
+   the mark stack.  GC_push_all calls need to come first, since we can't
+   necessarily recovere if thos overflow the mark stack.  (Thanks to
+   Matthew Flatt for tracking down the problem.)
  
 
 To do:
  - There seem to be outstanding issues on Solaris/X86, possibly with

- - New_gc_alloc.h is apparently no longer compatible with the latest C++

+GC on EWS4800
+-------------
+
+1. About EWS4800
+   EWS4800 is 32bit/64bit workstation.
+
+     Vender: NEC Corporation
+     OS: UX/4800 R9.* - R13.* (SystemV R4.2)
+     CPU: R4000, R4400, R10000 (MIPS)
+
+2. Compiler
+
+ 32bit:
+   Use ANSI C compiler.
+     CC = /usr/abiccs/bin/cc
+
+ 64bit:
+   Use 64bit ANSI C compiler.
+     CC = /usr/ccs64/bin/cc
+     AR = /usr/ccs64/bin/ar
+
+3. ELF file format
+   *** Caution: The following infomation is empirical. ***
+
+ 32bit:
+   ELF file has an unique format. (See a.out(4) and end(3C).)

+        :      text segment
+     &etext
+     DATASTART
+        :      data segment (initialized)
+     &edata
+     DATASTART2
+        :      data segment (uninitialized)
+     &end
+
+   Here, DATASTART and DATASTART2 are macros of GC, and are defined as
+   the following equations. (See include/private/gcconfig.h.)
+   The algorithm for DATASTART is similar with the function
+   GC_SysVGetDataStart() in os_dep.c.
+
+     DATASTART  = ((&etext + 0x3ffff) & ~0x3ffff) + (&etext & 0xffff)
+
+    Dynamically linked:
+     DATASTART2 = (&_gp + 0x8000 + 0x3ffff) & ~0x3ffff
+
+    Statically linked:
+     DATASTART2 = &edata
+
+   GC has to check addresses both between DATASTART and &edata, and
+   between DATASTART2 and &end. If a program accesses between &etext
+   and DATASTART, or between &edata and DATASTART2, the segmentation
+   error occurs and the program stops.
+
+   If a program is statically linked, there is not a gap between
+   &edata and DATASTART2. The global symbol &_DYNAMIC_LINKING is used
+   for the detection.
+
+ 64bit:
+   ELF file has a simple format. (See end(3C).)
