IRC: #glibc on OFTC.

​ * Discussing upcoming glibc 2.44 release.
  * Two reverts:
   * malloc IFUNCs were reverted.
   * Reverted the mmap threshold removal (Bug 34394)
   * HJ reverted strace-tst-thp.sh tests.
  * Carlos: Are we at zero release blockers?
  * Andreas: Yes.
  * Florian: Question about system-wide tunables.
  * Florian is going to post to Andreas' thread on NEWS updates with updated text.
  * Holding the NEWS update until new text arrives.
  * Yury: One of the mat tests produces spurious unsupported.
  * Discussed the sate of the EXCEPTION_ENABLED_SUPPORTED change.
   * Reviewer Pool: Carlos O'Donell
   * Noted that Graviton instances return feenableexcept returns -1.
  * Finished discussions about outstanding fixes.
  * Reviewing current build results.
  * Reviewed elf/tst-ldconfig-cache: "original exit status 127"
   * Reviewed makefile output and noted the missing libgcc_s.so, which means container rootfs generation did not detect the DSO as required.
   * Carlos, Andreas, and Florian discussed the resolv/tst-resolv-res_init-failure failure and that the release can go out even if we don't know why we manage to get into a situation where the per-process limits are hit at a point we don't expect. The test is new with commit 13dc1040af5a6dd3d582a96fe3931a2f98179a52, but the code change is minor and in an unrelated location to the possible options that might cause the failure.
  * Ended the call at SPARC 64-bit review.

Cheers,
