Description Alex Xu (Hello71) 2013-03-23 01:29:44 UTC

It would help with testing to have gcc-4.8 in the tree (hardmasked of course) since it has now been officially released.

Magnus can you copy the latest pie patchset over?
Mike is there an x32 patch for 4.8 or is everything upstream now?

all x32 stuff should be in mainline.  if it isn't, i'll worry after you bump it.

I saw some patches for 4.8 hit the cvs repo...how much more work needs to be done before 4.8 gets into the tree?

Have added the piepatchset and some patch for pr56754.

it'll hit when it's ready.  asking for status updates won't speed things up.

I wasn't meaning to rush things.  I was actually curious if there was anything I could do to help.
