OK. Thanks a lot for looking into this for us, Pedro.
I've added this item to the list as a "maybe".

I've added this as a maybe as well. The patches are a little large,
but don't necessarily seem scary, and if the failure is bad enough...
I think you'll have the best perspective to make the call. We will
wait for feedback if we have to.
We still have a little extra time regardless, as I don't see much
activity on
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17716
I'm not too surprised. I think Phil said he was going to be traveling
too.
Thanks, Pedro!
