 changes relative to sbcl-1.9.38:
   * bug fix: Backtrace from undefined function on x86 and x86-64 now show
     the calling frame.
+  * bug fix: linkage-table entries on PPC now no longer overflow their
+    space allocation (potentially causing crashes if they are written out
+    of order).
+  * bug fix: Scrub control stack after scavenging in gencgc on non-x86oid
+    platforms, preventing the GC from seeing stale pointers on the control
+    stack in subsequent GCs (which would, and does, break invariants).
+  * bug fix: 32-bit unicode external formats now work on big-endian systems.
+  * bug fix: Literal characters with code points greater than about 32767
+    now work on PPC UNICODE builds.
+  * bug fix: Any noise left by SSE operations (sqrt and conversions) in the
+    high order bits are explicitly cleared out. In some contrived situations,
+    this could lead to wrong results in mixed real/complex float arithmetic.
+  * bug fix: Fix function/macro redefinition warnings when building with
+    clisp.  (lp#576787, thanks to Josh Elsasser)
