I believe this is the only port which used <h4> to differentiate
between features and other changes.  It's fine if you really want
to handle it that way, just wanted to point it out.  An alternative
would be to say "<em>ABI Changes:</em> ....2

"the Sun linker"?

ISO C99 for C++?

Perhaps say "the Sun assembler"?  At first I was wondering about the
grammar of this sentence reading the as as the English word as. ;-)

"Change the ABI..."

What happens with code (libraries,...) compiled with an earlier version of
GCC?  Will this break?  If so, a word of caution may be appropirate.


Looks good overall.  Please consider my comments and repost/check in
