- Subject: glibc am33 and cris architectures
The am33 and cris glibc ports won't have worked since the 2.3-2.5 era for
lack of NPTL/TLS support. They are currently on the deprecation list for
removal after glibc 2.16 is released
<http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Deprecation>. But given how long they
won't have worked, I wonder if we should just remove them now. Alexandre,
Hans-Peter - do you have, or know of, any near-term plans to bring your
respective ports up to date with NPTL and TLS support and updates for all
the other libc changes in the past several years? If not, I think it's
time to remove them. (Alexandre, since you have write access you can just
remove the am33 port yourself - "git rm" on the directories sysdeps/am33
sysdeps/unix/am33 sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/am33 with an appropriate entry
in ChangeLog.am33.)
