The 2.27 release is due out tomorrow.  So far, no test results for tile 
have been posted at <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.27> - and 
the same applies to sh and ia64, which also had some interest in them 
expressed in this thread.  Are you, or other people you're working with 
who have interest in those architectures, working on having results for 
those architectures for 2.27 for the wiki page (regenerating libm test 
ulps first and getting that regeneration checked in if there would 
otherwise be tests failing only because of lack of updated ulps)?
