Re: [PATCH] libc: arm: fix setjmp abi non-conformance

[Victor Do Nascimento <Victor.DoNascimento@arm.com>]

Dear Richard (now also CCing the mailing list),

One of the folks over at the Gentoo bug discussion inquired about 
getting the patch back-ported to the latest source snapshot (where the 
problem originally presented itself), newlib-4.3.0.20230120.

Is that an option at all?

Cheers,
Victor
