As a note, all the builders we use for binary releases run Trusty still. I haven't tried Jessie (should work fine),
but I know that newer Mingw releases fail to compile GCC 5.x.

Subject: [ACTIVITY] 18-22 April 2016

* 3 days off

== Progress ==
* Validation:
  - fixed ABE master and stable branches to use 'ssh -t' instead of
'ssh -tt' when cross-testing
  - trying to assert master vs stable before the array branch merge,
noticed differences on armv8l
  - created linaro-local/stable Dejagnu branch (currently a copy of
master). Prepared ABE config patches to use it.

* GCC
  - infrastructure problems (ST compute farm), leading to a lot of
noise in the validations (and wrong regression reports upstream)
  - enabled gcc-6-branch monitoring
  - added GCC-6 tab to the backports spreadsheet

* Support
  - Windows-hosted toolchain crashes: it seems the builders we use to
make the release run Jessie and not Trusty. Tried to rebuild a
toolchain in a Jessie chroot, but the script failed (works under
Trusty)

* Misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ...)

== Next ==
* Validation
  - check that using linaro-local/stable Dejagnu branch works well
  - create validation reference points before array branch merge
  - understand/fix armv8l validation differences between master/stable
ABE branches

* GCC
  - trunk monitoring, report regressions if needed
  - more intrinsics tests

* Support
  - Windows-hosted toolchain bug

* Snapshots
  - prepare a few backports for our gcc-5 branch

* Cortex-strings update
