== This week ==

* Away Monday, and a fair bit of time on non-Linaro duties.

* Looked at Dave's gromacs bug (693502). Turned out to be a reload inheritance problem. Tested a patch. Spent some time coming up with a brute-force testcase that I can submit with the patch.

* Found a bug in the x86 and x86_64 ifunc support that would affect ARM too if we weren't careful. Came up with an example testcase and filed the bug upstream:

http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12366

It has been fixed by H.J. Lu. I'm wondering about taking a slightly different approach for ARM.

* More ifunc work.

* Tried again to reproduce the chrome failure, making sure to use DEB_BUILD_HARDENING=1. (I hadn't realised first time round that, in reaction to this bug, debian/rules specifically excluded armel from the automatic DEB_BUILD_HARDENING=1 setting.) The build takes a couple of days on my BeagleBoard.

Heh, and just as I wrote that, the build failed with the reported link error. Neat.

== Next week ==

* Finish testing the patch for 693502 and submit it upstream. Backport the patch to our tree once accepted.

* Look at the chromium problem.

* More ifunc.
