Re: [PATCH 001/114] Add initial port for Phoenix-RTOS.

[Jakub Sejdak <jakub dot sejdak at phoesys dot com>]

Hi again,

Can Jeff or Corrina summarize status of applying my patches? We have
some business targets that depend on those patches and I need to know
more or less how long will it take.
As for licensing, we do not support shared libraries for now and that
is why it is disabled at build time.

Thanks in advance,
Jakub
