1 Also... an important couple of features:

3 TLS works on certain hardware (e.g. with hardware supported tls, like
4 armv7a), but not on all architectures, like in GNU [1], [2]. It's
5 probably better to blanket-disable this for now via a portage profile
6 variable.
7
8 SMP does not currently work OOTB. There are some patches floating
9 around[3], with issues that mainly lie outside of bionic, but I the
10 'official' SMP code will be available whenever Honeycomb is
11 released[4] ... which is of course whenever Google decides to do
12 release Honeycomb.
