-### History
+## Platform support
 
-The OpenLibm code derives from the [FreeBSD
-msun](http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/lib/msun/) and [OpenBSD
-libm](http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libm/src/)
-implementations, which in turn derives from [FDLIBM
-5.3](http://www.netlib.org/fdlibm/). As a result, it includes a number
-of fixes and updates to FDLIBM that have accumulated over the years in
-`msun`, and optimized versions of many functions.
+OpenLibm builds on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, and FreeBSD. It builds
+with both GCC and clang. Although largely tested on x86, it also
+includes experimental support for ARM.
 
-### Platform support

-OpenLibm builds on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows, and with little
-effort, should build on FreeBSD as well. It builds with both GCC and
-clang. Although largely tested on x86, it also includes experimental
-support for ARM. The original `msun` also includes support for mips,
-sparc64, powerpc, ia64, and alpha. These are present in the OpenLibm
-source tree, but no attempt has been made to build any of these.
