 <li>The SDK includes a new, experimental toolchain called <a class="reference external" href="http://nativeclient.googlecode.com/svn/data/site/pnacl.pdf">PNaCl</a> (pronounced
 &#8220;pinnacle&#8221;). The PNaCl toolchain produces architecture-independent executable
 files (.pexe files). Chrome doesn&#8217;t yet support .pexe files directly, but if
 you want to experiment with this early preview of PNaCl, the toolchain
 includes a tool to translate .pexe files into architecture-specific .nexe
 files. Take a look at the <code>hello_world</code> example to see how to build a .pexe
 file and translate it into multiple .nexe files. Note that PNaCl is currently
 restricted to the newlib C standard library – if your application uses glibc,
 you can&#8217;t build it with PNaCl.</li>
 <li>The <code>create_nmf.py</code> script uses ELF headers (rather than file names) to
 determine the architecture of .nexe files. That means you can change the
 names of your .nexe files and <code>create_nmf.py</code> will still be able to
 generate the appropriate Native Client manifest file for your application.</li>
