  a temporary file in /tmp) on the following platforms:
  - Linux.
  - macOS.
  - FreeBSD 13 and newer.
  - NetBSD 8 and newer.

  (Previously, a build on these platforms failed.)
  - armv6 (Raspberry Pi): Linux.
  - hppa: Linux 32-bit.
  - riscv32: Linux with ilp32d ABI.
  - riscv64: Linux with lp64d ABI.

* The build for the mips 32-bit ABI is now compatible with toolchains for
  the 'fpxx' ABI variant.  The downside is that the mips1 architecture is
  no longer supported.

  platforms:
  - arm64: Linux 64-bit.

  - arm: Linux with PIE-enabled gcc.
  - x86_64: Solaris 11.3.
  - OpenBSD 6.1.

* Fixed a crash in trampoline on the following platforms:
  - mips: Linux with CC="gcc -mabi=64", little endian.

New in 2.0:

* The package now installs a library libffcall.{a,so}. It contains the
  'avcall' and 'callback' packages. The libraries libavcall.{a,so} and
  libcallback.{a,so} are still installed as well, but are deprecated.

* The installed libraries are now installed as shared libraries by default
  (except for libvacall, which is still a static library only).

* The installed shared libraries are now properly versioned. This means that
  when installing with --enable-shared, upgrading to a newer version of
  libffcall will not break existing binaries.

* The installed include files are now platform independent. This means that
  you can now install libffcall for different ABIs on the same system, using
  the same --prefix option but different --exec-prefix options for each ABI.

* API changes in <trampoline.h>:
  - The second argument of alloc_trampoline() is now a 'void**', rather
    than a 'void*'.
  - The return value of trampoline_variable() is now a 'void**', rather
    than a 'void*'.
  - The argument of trampoline_address(), trampoline_variable(),
    trampoline_data() is now a function pointer instead of a 'void*'.

* API changes in <callback.h>:
  - The argument of callback_address(), callback_data() is now a function
    pointer instead of a 'void*'.

* Fixed a bug regarding floating-point arguments followed by
  non-floating-point arguments on the following platforms:
  - arm: Linux 32-bit, with hardware floats.
  - powerpc: Linux 32-bit.
  - s390: Linux.

* Fixed a bug regarding structure returns on the following platforms:
  - i386: FreeBSD.
  - i386: MinGW.
  - mips: old 32-bit ABI (Linux, IRIX).

* Added support for the following platforms:
  (Previously, a build on these platforms failed.)
  - i386: MSVC 14.
  - x86_64: Cygwin.
  - x86_64: MinGW.
  - x86_64: MSVC 14.
  - hppa64: HP-UX 11.
  - m68k: Linux.

* Verified support for the following platforms:
  (A build on these platforms worked and still works.)
  - i386: FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD.
  - i386: Hurd.
  - x86_64: FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD.

  hairy.
* Added support for PowerPC Linux.

New in 1.6:

* The avcall and callback packages are compiled as position-independent code,
  if CC="gcc -fPIC".
