Hemanth meant to reply saying:

Hi Alex,

Sure, I'll do that but since we're in a hurry to get the glibc-2.43 merged,
I'll keep the existing status and follow-up with a status change next week,
once I've had time to submit a patch to upstream barebox:
https://github.com/barebox/barebox?tab=readme-ov-file#contributing

Right Hemanth ?   :-)
