Dear all, 

now that the 2.37 release and with that another half year of delay is near, 
I'd like to remind everyone that we still need to find some decent solution
for the remaining problems associated with time64 and LFS as discussed
earlier [1].

As far as I can see at the moment there are two things that need a solution.

1) qemu usermode emulation is broken when emulating a 32bit arch from a 64bit
   arch, bug 23960
 
2) the transition to default time64 breaks legacy 32bit binaries in
   unpredictable ways

I'm going to reply with two separate e-mails for these issues, and would be
very happy for your opinions and contributions on the respective threads.

Cheers,
Andreas
