behavior, allowing those combinations of configuration options. [#14067]</li>

Linux. [#14249]</li>

set "AR" to "ar -X64" for example, and modify both libtool and the
Makefile commands. Remove the install-strip target from the Makefile,
it is no longer used. [#14726]</li>

(the default in Java), and an operation in one thread causes the
database to be truncated (typically when the last page in the database
is freed) concurrently with a read or write in another thread, there can
be arbitrary data loss, as Windows zeros out pages from the read/write
location to the end of the file. [#15063]</li>
