===[[Changes/NssGCMParams | NSS CK_GCM_PARAMS change]]===
===[[Changes/glibc32 Build Adjustments | glibc 32 Build Adjustments]]===
Because of changes to the PKCS #11 spec in PKCS #11 v3.0, NSS needs to change the definition of  the CK_GCM_PARAMS structure in a source incompatible way. Upstream made this change in NSS 3.52. This change does not affect the ABI. Old programs compiled with older versions of NSS will still work. Only packages that use NSS and directly call AES GCM are affected.
The glibc32 package is a special package used by gcc and a few other packages to work around the lack of RPM multilib repository support in Koji. It is difficult to maintain, and the current approach raises questions regarding (L)GPL compliance.

===[[Changes/OpenLDAPwithoutNonthreadedLibraries | OpenLDAP without Non-threaded Libraries]]===
===[[Changes/OpenLDAPwithBerkleyDBasModule | Ship BerkleyDB backend as a module]]===
OpenLDAP will not ship non-threaded version of libldap. Instead, symlinks will be provided for runtime libraries to keep working, and all software built with libldap will be effectively built with libldap_r.
Change the openldap-servers package so that BDB and HDB backends are required to be dynamically loaded.

===[[Changes/Python Upstream Architecture Names | Python Upstream Architecture Names]]===
Use CPython upstream architecture naming in Fedora's Python ecosystem (mostly in filenames) instead of the previously patched Fedora names.
For example, have /usr/lib64/python3.9/lib-dynload/array.cpython-39-powerpc64le-linux-gnu.so instead of /usr/lib64/python3.9/lib-dynload/array.cpython-39-ppc64le-linux-gnu.so.
This makes packaging of Python itself a tad trickier, but it moves Fedora's Python closer to upstream and solves interoperability problems with ppc64le manylinux wheels.
The change has impact only on ppc64le and armv7hl (considering the architectures built by koji.fedoraproject.org).
Packages assuming the filenames always contain %{_arch}-linux%{_gnu} will need to be adapted.
