Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting
compatibility:
-* The big-endian ARC port (arceb-linux-gnu) has been removed.
-
* abort is now async-signal-safe and its implementation makes longjmp
from the SIGABRT handler always abort if set up with setjmp. Use
sigsetjmp to keep the old behavior, where the handler does not stop
the process execution.
-* The nios2*-*-linux-gnu configurations are no longer supported.
-
* dlopen and dlmopen no longer make the stack executable if a shared
library requires it, either implicitly because of a missing GNU_STACK
ELF header (and default ABI permission having the executable bit set)
