[parisc-linux] Next steps? hppa tls toolchain and packaging in debian.

[Carlos O'Donell]

Gentlemen,

We seem to have a working TLS implementation for hppa. What are some of
the next steps we want to take?

a. Submit a plabel 21/14, dir 21/14 patch to debian glibc.
   Submit the same patch to Ubuntu.

b. Submit TLS patch to binutils.

c. Submit OPD patch to binutils.
   - There may still be some issues about this patch with regards
     to the behvious of --export-dynamic.

d. Submit patches to upstream glibc for TLS
   - Linuxthread patches are being handled by drow.
   - Sysdep patches are handled by Roland/Ulrich.
   - Luckily no core changes required.

e. Work at futex implementation.
   - Mockup and test.

f. Work at NPTL implementation
   - Already started thanks to Randolph.

Any extra entries to add to the list?

How do we handle this:

1. Packages built with a newer toolchain can emit OPD's
2. These packages should require a newer glibc.

Can we make debian-binutils depend on a newer libc?
I still don't see how we can stop someone from isntalling a package that
has these relocs but not a new libc?

Cheers,
Carlos.
