Re: [PATCH] REPOST: ARM big-endian strlen() fix

It looks like that patch was originally posted by Andreas Schwab of SuSE
(see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-glibc/2002-12/msg00056.html
for his patch and Changelog entry).  The arm folks are after me to add
it to crosstool, and they say that it works.  Probably a good bet.


I have put this in because it is trivial and clearly correct.

Thanks!

I linked to one (and said 'see [url] for his Changelog entry') - sorry, I should have just copied it verbatim so it would have been easier to read.

And now, by far the best way to try to get something done is to file a
bugzilla report and attach your patch with ChangeLog entry there.
Then when you pester us about it, you can just refer to the bugzilla number.

Absolutely. I'm trying to train the linux-arm-toolchain@lists.arm.linux.org.uk folks to always include the URL of the bug report and of the origin of the patch when proposing patches. I'll make sure they know that a glibc bugzilla number will help their patches get heard. - Dan
