** New toolchain features

** API additions (are there any?)

*** FIXME

** API changes

*** Kernel

**** Debugging
	The file <cyg/kernel/test/stackmon.h> defines some functions
	that can be used to profile stack usage.

	indicate success.  Failure is when the thread needs to run in
	order to become killed.

** ISO C library

** HAL changes

*** i386/linux
	The eCos idle loop will not load the host system anymore
	(except in special configurations, see linux_misc.c).

*** Common
