One of the messages from ARM kernel people (which never reached the
libc-alpha list, I think) indicated they thought it shouldn't go into
glibc until they'd re-surveyed users to establish if ILP32 support is
still wanted. Do you expect that work on establishing the desirability of
ILP32 support in the kernel and glibc to be done in time for 2.25?
