of ``-Wno-gnu-binary-literal`` will no longer silence this pedantic warning,
which may break existing uses with ``-Werror``.
+- The normalization of 3 element target triples where ``-none-`` is the middle
+ element has changed. For example, ``armv7m-none-eabi`` previously normalized
+ to ``armv7m-none-unknown-eabi``, with ``none`` for the vendor and ``unknown``
+ for the operating system. It now normalizes to ``armv7m-unknown-none-eabi``,
+ which has ``unknown`` vendor and ``none`` operating system.
+
+ The affected triples are primarily for bare metal Arm where it is intended
+ that ``none`` means that there is no operating system. As opposed to an unknown
+ type of operating system.
+
+ This change my cause clang to not find libraries, or libraries to be built at
+ different file system locations. This can be fixed by changing your builds to
+ use the new normalized triple. However, we recommend instead getting the
+ normalized triple from clang itself, as this will make your builds more
+ robust in case of future changes::
+
+ $ clang --target=<your target triple> -print-target-triple
+ <the normalized target triple>
