Hello, Ludovic Courtès <l...@gnu.org> skribis:

I’ve now merged this branch into ‘main’: 3cd64feb2 * linker: Do not store entire ELF in memory when writing to a file. 4ab71e1f0 * linker: Linker object writer takes a single argument. 041f11b35 * linker, assembler: Avoid intermediate bytevectors. d0d974360 * linker: Separate effectful part of 'add-elf-objects'. d439a3f67 * assembler: Separate effectful part of 'link-docstrs'. 13e2d5b66 * assembler: Separate effectful part of 'link-frame-maps'. dc0c4ccb1 * assembler: Separate effectful part of 'link-procprops'. c7f1522c6 * assembler: Separate effectful part of 'link-dynamic-section'. fc5eae5d0 * assembler: Separate effectful part of 'link-symtab'. 15c4c4ceb * assembler: Separate 'process-relocs' from 'patch-relocs!'. As discussed on IRC, I’d like to tag and upload 3.0.9rc1 hopefully tomorrow to get some testing (in particular portability testing) and release roughly a week later. Thoughts? Ludo’.
