# Progress #
In general, GDB mainline is in a good state. All known bugs are fixed,
but still have some patches pending for review. The release can be
created after these pending patches are in.
* Fix fail in gdb.base/interrupt-noterm.exp. TCWG-517. Done. [2/10]
* Fix fail in gdb.fortran/vla-value.exp. TCWG-521. Done. [1/10]
* PR 19474. [3/10]
Tried different approaches, but still cause regression.
Fortunately get the right maintainer involved. Will discuss with
him on this bug next week.
* Range stepping doesn't work on arm-linux, which slows down stepping
over a line of source. TCWG-518. [2/10]
* Prepare slides for Linaro Connect. [2/10]
# Plan #
* Off on Mon. to Wed.
* Linaro connect slides.
* Thailand visa.
* Other issues on GDB 7.11 release, if any.

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the availability
of the Linaro Stable Binary Toolchain GCC 5.2-2015.11-2 Release Archives.
http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.2-2015.11-2/http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/5.2-2015.11-2/
These archives provide cross-toolchain executables (compiler, debugger,
linker, etc.) and shared libraries (libstdc++, libc, etc.) that target ARM
or Aarch64 GNU/Linux and bare-metal environments. The cross-toolchain
binaries execute on a Linux or MS Windows (under mingw32) host
operating-system.
Please evaluate this release-candidate for correctness. Linaro will shortly
spin the Linaro GCC 5.2-2015.11-2 release if this release-candidate passes
stakeholder validation.

Hi!
When using the linaro-4.9-2015.05 toolchain on the Linux master and on Linux stable releases
I am seeing a build issue below when using the allyesconfig. This does not seem to occur on the 5.2 tool chain.
We cannot move to 5.2 tool chain for our releases as they are based on 4.9.

Please advise to how to resolve this issue within the 4.9 Linaro tool chain
