SDK can therefore generate them.
* Fix a `code generation bug on ARM`_ when dealing with 16-bit load/store and
``bswap`` which led to a NaCl validation failure.
+* PNaCl is now based on LLVM 3.6. If you are using GDB to debug PNaCl
+ :ref:`BC files with debug metadata in the browser<debugging_pnacl_pexes>`,
+ remember that debug info from SDK version ``X`` is only compatible with the
+ PNaCl translator in chrome version ``X``. The bitcode debug metadata format
+ changed from LLVM 3.5 to 3.6. If you need to debug an app built with SDK
+ version ``X`` running in Chrome version ``Y`` (with ``X != Y``), it is still
+ possible to do so. Simply translate the pexe to a nexe using the
+ :ref:`offline pnacl-translate tool from SDK version X
+ <debugging_pexes_via_nexes>` instead of using the translator in the
+ browser (version ``Y``).
