Subject: Re: [bug#67686] [PATCH core-updates v2 0/7] Update glibc to 2.38; make C.UTF-8 always available

Hello!

I’ve just pushed v2:

  5bbddafeaa gnu: glibc: Improve handling of empty .a files.
  1cebc334a7 gnu: glibc: Ensure C.UTF-8 locale is always found.
  c76e44396e gnu: glibc: Install C.UTF-8 locale.
  d5242a562e gnu: glibc: Update to 2.38.
  cd43baad60 gnu: mpfr: Update to 4.2.1.
  3ea04038b5 gnu: glibc-utf8-locales: Generalize and use gexps.
  22f06be928 gnu: gcc@11: Update to 11.4.0.

I think it’s just the beginning of a journey :-) since we’ll have to
test and fix cross-compilation, and eventually investigate the
(define glibc/hurd glibc) problems Janneke already reported.

By pushing my hope is to get support from the build farms so we can test
these higher-level issues without having to rebuild everything locally.

Ludo’.
