+Subject: [PATCH] Corrected register usage in x86 DCAS asm blocks.
+
+In some of the asm blocks eax was modified as a result of cmpxchg8b but that
+was not reflected in the register constraints. This could cause incorrect code
+being generated.

-Subject: [PATCH] Fix for uClibc and gcc <= 4.8.2
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
-getchar() is defined as a macro in uClibc. This hits gcc bug 58952 [1] for all
-gcc version <= 4.8.2 and building boost/test fails:
-
-./boost/test/impl/unit_test_main.ipp: In function 'int boost::unit_test::unit_test_main(boost::unit_test::init_unit_test_func, int, char**)':
-./boost/test/impl/unit_test_main.ipp:194:18: error: expected unqualified-id before '(' token
-
-To allow building boost/test with uClibc based toolchains with gcc <= 4.8.2 use
-parenthesis for std::getchar.

+Subject: [PATCH] Preventing the compilation of floating points with GCC when
+ glibc is not in use
+
+- Gathering the support of FPE in one place/several macros and using those in both
+  execution_monitor.hpp and execution_monitor.ipp in a more coherent way
+- Updating the support of the floating point exceptions: fenableexcept/fdisableexcept are
+  GLIBC extensions and the definition of FENV does not imply the existance of those functions
