+* sched_setaffinity, pthread_setaffinity_np no longer attempt to guess the
+ kernel-internal CPU set size. This means that requests that change the
+ CPU affinity which failed before (for example, an all-ones CPU mask) will
+ now succeed. Applications that need to determine the effective CPU
+ affinities need to call sched_getaffinity or pthread_getaffinity_np after
+ setting it because the kernel can adjust it (and the previous size check
+ would not detect this in the majority of cases).

* The fts.h header can now be used with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. With LFS
the following new symbols are used: fts64_children, fts64_close,
fts64_open, fts64_read and fts64_set.
