aarch64 status:

FAIL: debug/tst-backtrace5
FAIL: debug/tst-backtrace6
there is a fix as part of the cancel changes:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-06/msg00950.html
i can fix this independently, but i think it is ok
to delay this until next release and do it with the
cancellation fixes.

i'm testing a fix for gcc, binutils and glibc.
the glibc change is simple.

gcc bug, fixed for aarch64 in gcc-trunk
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66731

FAIL: stdio-common/bug22
this fails in my test environment, but it is a test bug.

other pending issues:

BZ 18572 Fix lazy tlsdesc race for arm.
i will work on this, but probably won't be in this release.

BZ 17918 dynamic-linker race: pthread_create can access
GL(dl_tls_max_dtv_idx) and GL(dl_tls_generation) without
holding the rtld lock.
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17918
i don't know about any fix for this.

BZ 18707 aarch64 --enable-profile is broken because asm
for the mcount call clobbers registers it shouldn't.
