Hi all, 

it's time for introducing 22.0 profiles [1] - so if you have any things that 
need to
be switched in an incompatible way tree-wide, or if you have any suggestions on 
how
to change our default settings, please reply to this mail with details! 

Cheers,
Andreas

[1] Why? That's a quite long e-mail in itself. Very short summary... 
* All 32bit arches (except riscv32) have a problem. They by default use some 
datatypes in 
  32bit, but need to move to 64bit (think timestamps). That's fine for 
applications, 
  but what do you do if the ABI of some library changes this way? 
* Plan is to keep the 32bit types as long as possible, and switch to 64bit with 
the
  new profile. Details are still being discussed. Pop into #g-toolchain if 
interested
  and poke Sam or me...
