 changes in sbcl-0.7.7 relative to sbcl-0.7.6:
+  * An alpha-quality port to the parisc architecture running Linux,
+    based on the old CMUCL backend has been made.  This, even more so
+    than the other backends, should be considered still a work in
+    progress; known problems include that the Linux kernel in 64-bit
+    mode does not propagate the correct sigcontext structure to

   * fixed bug 189: The compiler now respects NOTINLINE declarations for
