I think that once GCC mainline has stabilized after the end of development
stage 1 - which in practice will probably take a few more weeks as
features posted before the freeze get reviewed and so get into GCC -
people may have more time for glibc patch review, both because it's no
longer competing for time with review and development of GCC patches for
GCC 8, and because once GCC stabilizes less time will be taken in glibc
development in investigating and fixing problems that arise building with
GCC mainline, and in reviewing patches to fix such issues. (Right now the
glibc build with GCC mainline is fixed, but some issue is resulting in
linknamespace failures for all configurations - maybe more likely a
mainline binutils issue than a mainline GCC one - which I need to
investigate to get that bot back to a reasonable state.)
