I think NEWS entry usually reference to glibc with an article ('The glibc'). The rest sounds ok, although I am not a native english speaker. > > Changes to build and runtime requirements: >

glibc is a proper name, and proper names don't come with articles. You
can write "the GNU C library", but not "the glibc".

I don't have a strong opinion here. “The GNU C library” at the start of a sentence, otherwise glibc is also okay. In this case, you could use “The dynamic linker” or “The glibc dynamic linker”.

Javier, are you ok with: The dynamic linker no longer loads shared objects from the "tls" subdirectories on the library search path or the subdirectory that corresponds to the AT_PLATFORM system name, or employs the legacy AT_HWCAP search mechanism, which was deprecated in version 2.33. If so I can wrap-up the patches and push upstream for you.
