I will spend some time tomorrow compiling the release blockers for 2.24, so
please use this thread as placeholder to discuss them. I would like to
have them defined by the end of tomorrow.
I would like to get in the malloc_set_state/malloc_get_state changes:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00905.html>
The test depends on some new ELF symbol hacks which enable linking
against compatibility symbols from test.
I assume we also need the memalign changes for the dynamic linker to
increase Emacs compatibility (with their interposed malloc). But that's
a bug fix which could be backported later.
I would also like to finish review of the stack-protector changes and
make them part of the release (disabled by default). They may end up
having a dependency on Stefan Liebler's IFUNC changes.
