The topics we write down for the meeting are more discussion topics. Here I don't think there's much discussion needed: simply someone need to look at those patches, their history, the binutils source code, and decide if they are still needed or not. I don't think there is anything controversial here. However, the meeting is also a moment for hacking, so it's definitely something you can pick up as a "fun" task to achieve during the meeting :-) Best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
