*misc (1/10)
- Discovered a bug in glibc when using upstream (4.9) gcc that isn't
present in 4.8. This might have something to do with how binutils
interacts with the compiler instead of simply a compiler issue:

elf/dl-open.c:746: first defined here

Hi,
According the debian bug report [1], it is not possible to use std::future
on armv5 targetting toolchains. This is because libstdc++ will only enable
std::future if ATOMIC_INT_LOCK_FREE > 1. There is no LDREX for armv5 and
older, so this definition is set to ATOMIC_INT_LOCK_FREE when compiling for
ARMv4t or ARMv5.
My impression is that you should be able to use the kernel helpers for
atomic operations in lockfree (?) manner, so the ATOMIC_INT_LOCK_FREE
definition is probably incorrect on older arm archs then?

* Backports:
- gave some support to Michael
- a few have been reviewed/accepted.

== Next ==
* Disable peeling:
- check benchmarks results
- check code generation

- libssp gcc
Posted RFC V2 patch to community. Updated comments from Richard and
wating for some feed backs.
- Libssp glibc
- Sent out a patch for stack_chk_guard in Aarch64 along with TLS
stack guard support.
== Plan ==
- post RFC patches for glibc and gcc libssp
- explore on cbuildv2
29-11-2013 Friday - Leave (AMD internal event) .
== Progress ==
* Setup 64 bit centos-5 and suse-10 chroots for testing binary
tarballs, and used them to verify the Cbuildv2 produced ones
compile 'Hello World!", and run on a real target.
* Got remote chromebook testing working in TCWG build farm.
* Worked on getting GDB remote testing with gdbserver working.
* Did build and test run on aarch64 APM board of GCC
linaro-4.8-branch.
* Changed Cbuildv2 to disable parallel make jobs when building GCC
native on ARM or AARCH64 platforms, as the hardware can't handle
the load.
* Got the LSB tools installed and researched what they do.
* Debugged why 32 bit binary tarballs made in a chroot won't run
when installed on multiple x86_64 systems. Works now by statically
linking everything.
* Got test results, converted to Junit format for Jenkins.
* More TCWG build farm admin issues.
== Plan ==
* Continue working on GDB remote testing in the build farm.
* More tweaks for binary releases.
* Continue trying to get GCC trunk to build on APM board.
* Figure out why Jenkins doesn't import the Junit files.
* Probably more TCWG build farm admin issues, which is probably
a continuing task, so I'll stop listing it every week.
== Issues ==
* If I try to monitor a Jenkin's build via the "Console", it
crashes my browser as the logs get huge.
* Long weekend for Thanksgiving holiday means short work week...
== Leave ==
* Off this coming Thursday for my birthday...

* Released GCC 4.7 and 4.8 2013.11 releases.
* Investigated potential regressions on trunk, as reported by
continuous cross-validation.
Reported some cases to Kyryll. Another, reported to Bin, turns out
to be an unrelated, unstable testcase recently introduced.
Will have to give a closer look at big-endian tests.
* Updated libsanitizer patch for AArch64. It builds again but is not
functional yet (running in the Foundation model currently); getting
support from libsanitizer developers. Support for AArch64 will have to
be committed in LLVM, and merged into GCC later. I'm going to continue
prototyping under GCC though, and will submit changes to the
libsanitizer team when ready.
* GNU tar regression (extended_negsidi pattern): posted bugzilla,
fixed by Richard.
* cbuildv2: gave another try, pointing to staging.g.l.o, to discover
that it was outdated too. Rob has fixed it since then.

Prepared backport of Zhenqiang's "enhance phiopt
to handle BIT_AND_EXPR" (TCWG -303)

staging.git.linaro.org, and merge requests ala 'git review' now
work and can get approved. (Thanks to Milo)
