Ok, let's try this again without the editor borking up the CC lines and
removing my Subject, sigh...

Hi all,                                                                     
                                                                            
I'm pleased to announce the release of stalld v1.26.1, now available        
at kernel.org, GitLab, and GitHub.                                          
                                                                            
Overview                                                                    
                                                                            
This release focuses on build system improvements, adding RISC-V            
64-bit architecture support and enhancing cross-platform compatibility      
through better compiler flag detection.                                     
                                                                            
New Architecture Support                                                    
                                                                            
RISC-V 64-bit (riscv64)                                                     
- stalld can now be built for RISC-V 64-bit systems                         
- Adds to existing support for x86_64, aarch64, s390x, i686, and            
  powerpc/ppc64le                                                           
                                                                            
Build System Improvements (Wander Lairson Costa)                            
                                                                            
Compiler Flag Detection                                                     
- Added feature detection for -mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer, fixing          
  builds on s390x and older compilers                                       
- Improved -fcf-protection detection using direct compiler testing          
  instead of GCC version checks                                             
- Removed redundant GCC version check, simplifying the Makefile             
                                                                            
Build Process                                                               
- BPF tool versions (kernel, clang, bpftool) now printed during build       
  for easier debugging of compilation issues                                
- Explicit 'test' target in tests directory for clearer build process       
                                                                            
Bug Fixes                                                                   
                                                                            
- Fixed typo: renamed 'merge_taks_info' to 'merge_tasks_info'               
- Updated .gitignore to exclude development tool metadata
