Hello,

the current Newlib build fails for aarch64 due to RTEMS-specific patches:

  CC       libc/string/libc_a-wcscmp.o
../../../gnu-mirror-gcc-0f001dd/newlib/libc/machine/aarch64/setjmp.S:29:10: fatal error: ../asmdefs.h: No such file or directory

Why are these patches not in upstream Newlib?

The only patch I'm aware of should be for ILP32 support in the hand-coded AArch64 assembly in newlib.

The short answer as to why the patch isn't upstream is that newlib hasn't committed it yet.

The longer answer is that the hand-coded AArch64 ASM in newlib is sourced from ARM's optimized-routines repository. I provided a patch to newlib's specifications at which point they suggested I get it committed upstream in the optimized-routines repo, first. I did that and then requested they pull the changes, but they were in the middle of a release cycle. Having the patch locally was the interim solution while we waited for that release to finish and for newlib to pull in the changes. I'll take a look and see what the current status on that is and what changes prompted the patch to break.

I don't see open pull requests in

https://github.com/ARM-software/optimized-routines/pulls

What is the status with respect to a Newlib integration?

All the necessary changes have been integrated into the optimized-routines repository. I just pinged the newlib list about integrating those changes since there doesn't seem to have been any movement toward that goal.
