* New program sotruss to trace calls through PLTs
Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.

+* The malloc hook implementation is marked deprecated and will be removed
+ from the default implementation in the next version. The design never
+ worked ever since the introduction of threads. Even programs which do
+ not create threads themselves can use multiple threads created internally.
