Thanks! There was one technical point regarding the glibc port I raised briefly in a discussion at the end of the Cauldron in Montreal: you should consider whether it would make sense, as a new 32-bit port, to have 64-bit times and 64-bit off_t, ino_t, etc. from the start, as RV32 is doing. We don't have a specific policy for this, but it may make sense for new ports not to include ABI variants that either are, or will become, obsolescent. If you require Linux 5.1 or later for the port then all or nearly all the architecture-independent pieces required for a 32-bit port supporting only 64-bit times should be covered by the RV32 patches, which I think are quite close to being ready to go into glibc, though you'd need to watch out for any (new or existing) #ifdef conditionals that might try to use 32-bit-time syscalls if they exist (which they don't on RV32) - and that would not prevent supporting older kernel versions later if desired, as the Y2038 support gets built out (including, in particular, the support for falling back to 32-bit-time syscalls in functions for 64-bit-time interfaces). -- Joseph S.
