[PING] [PATCH] newlib/libc/stdbit: Fix static assertions for 16-bit int

[Joel Sherrill]

Thanks Jeff. I am sorry this got away from me.

As to tracking changes versus the original source, over at RTEMS we have
learned the hard way over the years that not tracking project specific
changes
versus the unmolested upstream makes updating things easier. We started
doing this in earnest with our port of FreeBSD TCP/IP along with other
FreeBSD capabilities including NVME, USB, SDIO, and more. We can
back off our changes, update the FreeBSD source, and then reapply our
changes as a patch.

Newlib has a lot of code from third party projects and could probably
benefit from this but there is technical debt to get there. Over at RTEMS,
we did a good job "libbsd" but working through other third party code is
time consuming to get this work pattern applied.
