[gentoo-soc] Porting relibc to gentoo weekly progress

[Ahmed Soliman]

Hello all,

So for this week, I was mainly working on trying to compile gcc with
relibc and it is not yet done.

For now there are 2 patch sets for this week [1] an [2]. [2] is already merged.

patch [1] was a fix for a super complicated bug that I had to fix on
multiple platforms (linux because that related to my project and
redox, because if it is not compiling for redox the patch won't get
merged). You can find a brief short post about the story behind this
patch and an idea about how I setted up redox testing environment in
[3]. It is 4 minutes read and I would encourage everyone to go read it
^_^.


Thanks,
Ahmed.
