With the release upcoming we've switched to reviewing blockers and desirable changes.

 * Review the release blockers for glibc 2.35.
 * PT_LOAD fix status?
  * Committed fix e22a4557eb39d7cba9a74d70f4582c13f1a7a83a
  * Adhemerval reviewing test case inclusion.
 * Fix glibc 2.34 ABI omssion.
  * HJ: Is there a missing linker feature here?
  * Discussed Solaris VER_FLG_WEAK
   * https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-December/133796.html
 * linux: Fix ancillary 64-bit time timestamp conversion (BZ #28349, BZ #28350)
  * Florian sent review.
  * Adhemerval reposted patches with fixes.
 * posix: Add terminal control setting support for posix_spawn
  * Carlos to post review ASAP.
 * Multiple RTLD audit fixes.
  * Adhemerval sent updated versions.
  * Carlos to look at the fixes.
 * Use after free warning failures in gcc 12.
  * Carlos to follow up with Martin Sebor.
 * IBM long-double issues are release blockers we aren't tracking yet.
  * Blocks Fedora Rawhide builds.
  * We need to disable the flag in more places.
  * Florian to post the patches for this today.
 * Szabolcs: p_align issue.
  * Binutils switching on x86 to set p_align of load segments.
  * On AArch64 it would be nice too.
  * Old glibc would reject such a binary on a 64k page system.
  * Seems to me that I cannot switch this if there are existing 64k page sized systems.
  * Florian suggests fixing the bug in glibc and backport to old releases.
  * Carlos agrees with backport.
 * Adhemerval sent prelink removal patch for glibc 2.36.
  * Carlos: Post a NEWS update with a note saying 2.35 is the last relase with prelink.

Cheers,
Carlos.
