IRC: #glibc on OFTC.
Review new patches and restart review at the top.
* State NEW and delegate NOBODY is at 412 patches.
* Carlos's SLI at 161.3 days average patch age in queue and 67746 accumulated patch days.
* Noted that queue has gone up a lot during the run-up to the release where we aren't reviewing as many patches as before.
* Reviewing the status of the release.
* SPARC 64-bit issue with fortification.
* Not a release blocker.
* Should be reviewed to determine why `--enable-fortify-source` causes failures.
* IA64 GPREL22 relocations?
* Adhemerval: A quick analysis based on our discussions 3 years ago. GCC 10 defaults to no-common for variable definitions. On IA64 it breaks depending on the gcc configuration. I don't know why Gentoo sees the issue.
* Florian: The correct fix is likely a binutils fix.
* Florian: We don't support static PIE on ia64?
* Andreas: Gentoo has a workaround that keeps working over the last 3 years.
* Workaround exists and Gentoo is applying the workaround.
* Not a release blockers.
* Carlos: Do we have a fix for the tst-realpath issue?
* Florian: We have a fix for that. Patch 73331.
* stdlib: Improve tst-realpath compatibility with source fortification (Florian)
* Real bug in the test.
* Will go in after the release with backports.
* Carlos: Adhmerval, Did we review all the gcc version fixes for fortification.
* Adhemerval: Yes, all reviewed.
* Carlos: I owe Andreas a review of the release notes.
* Andreas: Savannah group won't let me post news?
* Carlos: I will double check offline to see what needs doing.
