+The following miscellaneous notes apply to this release:
+
+ * If you use GCC 4.3 or later to compile PSPP, along with any
+ version of the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) released as of
+ this writing (June 2008), then you will need to specify the
+ -fgnu89-inline flag to the compiler on the "configure"
+ command line: "./configure CFLAGS=-fgnu89-inline".
+
+ * On a few operating systems, such as OpenBSD, some of the
+ tests may fail with messages similar to: 'Warning: cannot
+ create a convertor for "646" to "UTF-8"'. These test
+ failures may safely be ignored.
