@@ -37,10 +37,8 @@ Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
   implementations from HWCAP subdirectories are no longer loaded.
   Instead, the default implementation is used.
 
-* The deprecated <sys/timeb.h> header and the ftime function have been
-  removed.  To support old binaries, the ftime function continue to exist
-  as a compatibility symbol (on those architectures which had it).  All
-  programs should use gettimeofday or clock_gettime instead.
+* The deprecated ftime function is now only declared for POSIX.1-2001 or
+  older standard.
 
 Changes to build and runtime requirements:
