I will wait for you and Dan to sort this out before taking any action
in glibc Fedora Rawhide.
My obvious hope would be that the current glibc changes stay as-is
since they are the most optimal runtimes for the latest hardware.
seems we are making good progress with the hw, I didn't know the
solution is that close. Thanks to everyone who is making it happen.
Carlos, please do not make any changes. I need to talk to Peter
Robinson yet, but we should be switching the distro-wise flags before
the mass-rebuild.
