   sigset_t is too small on ARM and x86 (but correct on MIPS), so support
   for real-time signals is broken. http://b/5828899
 
-  Too few TLS slots mean we can't allocate 128 pthread_key_t instances,
-  which POSIX says should be the minimum.
-
   atexit(3) handlers registered by a shared library aren't called on
   dlclose(3); this only affects ARM. http://b/4998315
