If my understanding of TSX (as discussed with the Cambridge BSP) is
correct, this is not release-critical for stretch, because glibc/2.24-9
has disabled lock elision and is meant to migrate to stretch soon. It is
likely to be release-critical for buster (assuming the glibc maintainers
want to re-enable that feature as hardware supporting it becomes more
common) so I'm tagging it buster,sid with release team approval (jmw).
Lucas, would it be possible for you to retry your test-build of
libmicrohttpd on a TSX machine, and perhaps also the other packages that
had failures on TSX machines that were not reproducible without TSX?
You will need to either do the build in sid, or wait for glibc (>= 2.24-9)
to hit stretch.
Thanks,
