[ACTIVITY] 5-9 February 2018

== Progress == * GCC - FDPIC - updated binutils ref results in CI. There are a couple of new failures to investigate - started GCC upgrade: rebased the FDPIC GCC pile of patches on top of trunk. - debugging ICE while building libgcc

* GCC upstream validation: - helped reproduce a bugzilla on armeb - reported random go/libgo test failures. Intel confirmed they also see similar random results.

* Infrastructure: - improved tcwg-buildapp script/job to actually boot arm/arm64 boards after building a kernel with a given toolchain. (Using Lava, thanks to Remi)

* misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ....)

== Next == * GCC/FDPIC * GCC upstream validation
