        * Delete all arcfour assembly code. Affects 32-bit x86, 32-bit
          and 64-bit sparc.
 
+       Known issues:
+
+       * Version 6.2.1 of GNU GMP (the most recent GMP release as of
+         this writing) has a known issue for MacOS on 64-bit ARM: GMP
+         assembly files use the reserved x18 register. On this
+         platform it is recommended to use a GMP snapshot where this
+         bug is fixed, and upgrade to a later GMP release when one
+         becomes available.
+
+       * Also on MacOS, Nettle's testsuite may still break due to
+         DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH being discarded under some circumstances.
+         As a workaround, use
+
+         make check EMULATOR='env DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(TEST_SHLIB_DIR)'
