I've built the new glibc in my sandbox and will start doing a -rc2 when

I did look at the test failures:
XPASS: elf/tst-protected1a
XPASS: elf/tst-protected1b
FAIL: posix/tst-getaddrinfo4
FAIL: posix/tst-getaddrinfo5
None of the stuff from the tarball in 418 has been added. Next release.
A shame - I gave up when I realised the tarball only built the tests.
It looks as if understanding how to invoke new glibc tests is way
beyond my comprehension.
I didn't spend any time on it. I'll take a peek later on, but right now,
I think it's a fairly safe assumption that these new test failures are
directly related to the new code and can be safely ignored.
I've updated the text to add posix/tst-getaddrinfo5 to the list of known
failures. When I look at the text we have now, I also see:
* The rt/tst-cputimer1 and rt/tst-cpuclock2 tests have been known to
fail. The reason is not completely understood, but indications are that
minor timing issues can trigger these failures.
I think I had still seen one of the mentioned tests when building on single
processor in KVM, but don't recall which. I'll get a build on KVM before
release day.
That is good to hear.
Yeah, I should have pretty good coverage for us, but unfortunately, I'm
just not yet ready to migrate those hosts yet. They will be done
probably halfway through next release cycle. I absolutely have to
package them, too important for me not to do so. I use QLX, virtio, and
utilize both connection types, also have a windows 10 guest working with
the RH virtio drivers too that I can drag in for fun. :-)
OT: virtio obviously works well with Linux guests, but runs amazingly
well with Windows guests as well if needed. That particular Windows 10
load is faster virtualized than the factory load on original hardware.
Now, keep in mind that's not exactly a 1:1 comparison, it's a
convertible (no vendor bloatware installed, no tablet drivers,
enterprise vs pro), but I was pretty impressed none the less. I get to
both desktops in around 8-10 seconds from power on (the variable is me
typing at the GDM login). I did have to disable the startup health check
in the guest Windows 10 VM as it results in a SMART error for the virtio
HDD! My poor helpdesk folks didn't like the repeated bogus support
tickets. :-)
