I don't know if "finalised" is realistic in the time available either;
you're tripping over some pretty deep problems and tangled up with the
64-bit time_t changes. There are only a few people qualified to
review your patches, and it's going to take time and thought.
However, if you already have commit privileges (do you?) you are
welcome to create a public testing branch right now, named <your
sourceware userid>/rv32 or something like that. It can be
force-pushed as necessary.
