== Progress == * GCC: - FDPIC: No progress, still waiting for feedback - noinit attribute: reviewers asked to make it a generic attribute, rather than target-specific. New patch sent.

* GNU-583 (Fix Linux kernel built for Thumb-2 with GCC using LTO) - no progress this week

* GCC upstream validation: - reported a few regressions.

* Binutils: - PR24709 (linker crash and assertion failure with CMSE). Use case not considered worth the headache of supporting correctly CSME+long-branch stubs (tricky to get right). Replaced the linker crash with a user error message. - Non-contiguous memory regions support in the BFD linker: Received a good summary of the consensus reached in 2017.

* misc: - infra fixes / troubleshooting

== Next == GCC: - handle feedback on FDPIC and noinit patches - binutils/linker support for non-contiguous memory regions - GNU-583 - GCC upstream validation: Add a config for cortex-m33 (v8-m)

== Holidays == July 13-27 Aug 2-11
