I noticed the new "C Reference" subsections, that's great to have.
Unfortunately I don't understand your question about the additional
dictionary on top of Part I, however :)

I would suggest the following change:

6.3.2. OpenBSD and NetBSD

Perhaps this should also include Linux and FreeBSD, and the paragraph
should probably mention libffi, and the alternative of using:

--with-dffi=included --enable-boehm=included --with-gmp=included

This also reminds me that I'm confused about these names when looking
at ./configure --help, because both --enable-boehm and
--with-system-boehm are marked deprecated...  perhaps that eventually
--with-boehm=<option> could be used instead of both, to match the
others?

Thanks,
