2.12 update

[Daniel Jacobowitz]

At the moment, I've got most of the want-fixed-by-next-release bugs
checked off as fixed - there's the HP/UX libtool situation, for which
Steve will hopefully have a patch next week; an SH bug report; one
linking bug which I'm not sure is a bug; and some testsuite failures
that should be cleaned up soonish.

So - are there any more issues that you want fixed before release? 
Otherwise, I'd ask that we slow active development on the trunk for a
week or two, in preparation for branching.
