<h2>Caveats</h2>

+ <li><p>Support for a number of older systems and recently

+ <p id="obsoleted">The following ports for individual systems on

+ announcement</a>.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ </li>
+
+ <li>Support has been removed for Unix International threads on Solaris
+ 2, so the <code>--enable-threads=solaris</code> configure option and
