status of gold for ARM

[Roland McGrath]

I'm building binutils for --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf (build and host
is x86_64-linux-gnu, though I hope that doesn't matter to these questions).

At binutils-2_25 (the release tag), check-gold passes (18 tests).
At current binutils-2_25-branch (3654ad9), check-gold fails (2 of 18
tests failed):
        FAIL: arm_cortex_a8.sh
        FAIL: arm_branch_out_of_range.sh
At current master (946748d), check-gold fails (4 of 18 tests failed):
        FAIL: arm_branch_out_of_range.sh
        FAIL: arm_fix_v4bx.sh
        FAIL: arm_cortex_a8.sh
        FAIL: arm_unaligned_reloc.sh

Is anybody looking at these?

There had been mention of doing a 2.25.1 release sometime soon.
Can at least the 2.25 branch regressions since the 2.25 release get
fixed soon?


Thanks,
Roland
