+      <ul>
+        <li>Enabled OpenMP for all GCC builds. To use this feature, add the following flags to your
+          build settings:
+<pre>
+LOCAL_CFLAGS += -fopenmp
+LOCAL_LDFLAGS += -fopenmp
+</pre>
+          For code examples, see {@code tests/device/test-openmp}</li>
+        <li>Reduced the size of {@code ld.mcld} significantly (1.5MB vs. {@code ld.bfd} 3.5MB and
+          {@code ld.gold} 7.5MB), resulting in a speed improvement of approximately 20%.</li>
+        <li>Added <code>LOCAL_CONLYFLAGS</code> and <code>APP_CONLYFLAGS</code> to specify
+          options applicable to C only but not C++. The existing <code>LOCAL_CFLAGS</code>
+          and <code>APP_CFLAGS</code> are also used for C++ compilation (to save trouble of
+          specifying most options twice), so options such as <code>-std=gnu99</code> may fail in
+          g++ builds with a warning and clang++ builds with an error.</li>
+        <li>Added {@code gabi++} array helper functions.</li>
+        <li>Modified GCC builds so that all {@code libgcc.a} files are built with
+          <code>-funwind-tables</code> to allow the stack to be unwound past previously blocked
+          points, such as <code>__aeabi_idiv0</code>.</li>
+        <li>Added Ingenic MXU support in MIPS GCC4.6/4.7/4.8 with new <code>-mmxu</code> option.</li>
+        <li>Extended MIPS GCC4.6/4.7/4.8 <code>-mldc1-sdc1</code> to control ldxc1/sdxc1 too</li>
+        <li>Added crazy linker. For more information, see
+          {@code sources/android/crazy_linker/README.TXT}.</li>
+        <li>Fixed {@code bitmap-plasma} to draw to full screen rather than a 200x200 pixel area.</li>
+        <li>Reduced linux and darwin toolchain sizes by 25% by creating symlinks to identical files.
