So what baseline do we want? Would EV56 be sufficient? Because that would
still work with my AlphaStation 433au and XP1000 and gets us BWX.

I don't want to use something like EV67 as I think that would limit the
usable hardware too much. I guess I can live with dropping EV4 since NetBSD
and Gentoo would still run on these.

I am still interested in fixing the glibc bug and will work on bisecting it.

If EV56 is the baseline we can agree on, please go ahead and rebuild glibc
and gcc using this baseline.

Thanks,
Adrian
