The RC was run on Power 7, Power 8BE, Power 8LE, Power 9 and Power 10. 
The number of failures and stdout failures for the 3.20RC was the same
or lower than what was seen on 3.19 for each of the platforms.

The only issue noted, as discussed on #valgrind-dev channel, is the
addition of four post errors for the 3.20RC tree on all of the Power
platforms.  Specifically:

cachegrind/tests/ann1                    (post)
cachegrind/tests/ann2                    (post)
callgrind/tests/ann1                     (post)
callgrind/tests/ann2                     (post)

The output from  cachegrind/tests/ann1.post.diff is:

--- ann1.post.exp	2021-01-21 09:09:33.000000000 -0600
+++ ann1.post.out	2022-10-20 14:07:33.272141328 -0500

As discussed on the #valgrind-dev channel, this appears to be a
timestamp issue.  Doing a touch * in directory cachegrind/tests seems
to fix all four post errors.

No other issues were noted.  I would vote to do the touch * command and
go ahead with the release.
