Note that SH glibc test results need some work - there are a large number of failures listed at <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.27#SH>. Probably most could be addressed with the NaN fixes I outlined at <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-02/msg00440.html> - but that does of course need someone to do the work to implement that in GCC and glibc. (The stdlib/tst-tininess failure is stranger; SH manuals don't seem very specific on this, but the existing setting was definitely determined by testing on hardware. SH experts with access to a range of different hardware may be needed to advise on what different hardware does or is supposed to do in this regard.) The glibc port whose test results cause me the most concern that it's effectively unmaintained and should be considered for obsoletion is MicroBlaze - the results <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.27#MicroBlaze> are clearly a big mess (not something where one fix would probably resolve most failures as on SH) and there's no sign of activity to sort them out (nor has there been such activity for a long time). -- Joseph S.
