One more item (well, a big multi-part item):
Security features -- RELRO processing in the dynamic linker, a
replacement for _FORTIFY_SOURCE (as a layer on top of libc's headers
rather than part of libc's headers), making it possible to build libc
itself with stack-protector, possibly nonstandard interfaces needed
for using kernel security features well, adapting malloc's footer
bookkeeping to make it difficult to preserve footer when performing
buffer overflows, ...
