A couple of patches have remained unreviewed for some time, most of them
need build system maintainer review:
build: Introduce {as,ld}_flavor
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2026-May/715859.html
It's been six weeks now and is a prerequisite for the
[PATCH 0/6] Remove HAVE_GNU_{AS,LD} etc.
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2026-May/715865.html
series. The other parts have either already been approved or just
comprise the switch from solaris_{as,ld} to {as,ld}_flavor implemented
here.
build: Simplify in-tree-gld version checks
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2026-May/716215.html
Unreviewed for 10 weeks. The question about a minimum binutils version
raised in there is something for the release managers, I guess.
build: testsuite: Generate effective targets from auto-host.h
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2026-May/717910.html
The v3 patch should address all issues with installed testing. I guess
this needs approval from a build system maintainer. While I could
self-approve the testsuite parts, it would be good if Mike could have a
look, too.
There are quite a number of patches using that framework queued up and ready:
* solaris_as, solaris_ld effective targets
* conversion of all effective targets doing complicated compile tests to
get at auto-host.h macros
* further cleanup for gnu_retain
* cleanup of shf_link_order and -fpatchable-function-entry tests
Thanks.
