Feedback very welcome.
To me usrmerge alone would be sufficient to provide new release, but adding more changes in is a good idea too. I would like to switch ppc64le profiles to 128-bit IEEE long double ABI 23.0 seems like a good cause to finally tackle it. This will need some toolchain magic, I will open a bug and block profile-23.0 tracker. Fedora finally switched recently https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/PPC64LE_Float128_Transition I tried the switch about a year ago and ran into some trouble with projects that bundle gnulib. I'll open a bug and block the tracker. > > > > Cheers > > Andreas > > > > > > https://bugs.gentoo.org/515694 > > Bug 515694 - Update MIPS profiles to use ABI-specific CHOST values > > > for > > clang/llvm compatibility > > Affects only mips profiles.
