Quoting from the bug report:
The pstack library has been included in MySQL since version
4.0.0. It's useless and should be removed.
Details: According to its own documentation, pstack only works
on Linux on x86 in 32 bit mode and requires LinuxThreads and a
statically linked binary. It doesn't really support any Linux
from 2003 or later and doesn't work on any other OS.
The --enable-pstack option is thus deprecated and has no effect.

Bug#13174: SHA2 function
Patch contributed from Bill Karwin, paper unnumbered CLA in Seattle
Implement SHA2 functions.
Chad added code to make it work with YaSSL. Also, he removed the
(probable) bug of embedded server never using SSL-dependent
functions. (libmysqld/Makefile.am didn't read ANY autoconf defs.)
Function specification:
SHA2( string cleartext, integer hash_length )
-> string hash, or NULL
where hash_length is one of 224, 256, 384, or 512. If either is
NULL or a length is unsupported, then the result is NULL. The
resulting string is always the length of the hash_length parameter
or is NULL.
Include the canonical hash examples from the NIST in the test
results.

Polish and address concerns of reviewers.
failing 'INSTALL PLUGIN' statement doesn't work in embedded server
as we disable library loading there.
Fixed by enabling loading libraries (#define HAVE_DLOPEN), what also
makes UDF working in the embedded server.
Ensured that all projects compile
Removed compiler warnings
Better setting of server_version variable.
Fix that make_win_src_distribution creates the privilege tables.
Cleaned up embedded library access and query cache handling
Changed min stack size to 128K (to allow longer MyISAM keys)
Fixed wrong priority for XOR (should be less than NEG to get -1^1 to work)
client capabilities included into libmysqld
some API methods became "virtual"
lots of duplicated code removed
IMHO all the above made library's code way more pleasant to look at, didn't it?
Made a some new buffers thread specific and changeable.
Resize of key_buffer.
AUTO_COMMIT -> AUTOCOMMIT
Fixed mutex bug in DROP DATABASE
Fixed bug when using auto_increment as second part of a key where first part could include NULL.
Split handler->extra() to extra() and extra_opt() to be able to support thread specific buffers.
Don't write message to error log when slave reconnects becasue of timeout.
Fixed possible update problem when using DELETE/UPDATE on small tables
(In some cases we used index even if table scanning would be better)
A lot of minior code cleanups
Speed up column-completion in 'mysql'
Don't use ISAM if HAVE_ISAM is not defined
A lot of fixes for the embedded version. All libraries are now included in libmysqld.a
Changed arguments to convert_dirname() to make it more general.
Renamed files in the 'merge' directory to all use a common prefix.
Don't compile both assembler and C functions on x86
