Hello,
First of all, thanks to everyone who got involved last week and gave
the release a nice little push. This really helpped and we are getting
closer!
As far as I can tell, there is only PR still left pending:
* [KeithS] PR symtab/23010
Regression: Assertion: SYMBOL_LANGUAGE (sym) == DICT_LANGUAGE (dict)->la_language
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23010
This regression was seemingly fixed, and then makes a come back.
I'm still not sure whether it's the same issue, or rather
a different one that lead to the same symptom, though.
At this point, I think we should only wait so long for a fix to this
one, and consider the idea of releasing what we have at the moment,
without PR symtab/23010 completely fixed if necessary. The release
is getting very late, and this problem was both present in 8.0 and
I believe mitigated in the 8.2 branch. So we can afford to defer
the rest of the fix in 8.3.
Thoughts?
