I just found out this morning that glibc-2.23 is to be released soon.
Looking at https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.23, it looks like
most of their objectives for the release have been made.
Right now I'm building a full LFS at -j1 for size and time statistics and
have been planning to go through the release process today for 7.9-rc1.
The question is whether we should wait for the latest glibc? I'm not 100%
comfortable about updating a critical package just before release.
Waiting will certainly push back the stable release.
There are some security bugs fixed in the latest version:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-01/msg00535.html
but they look pretty esoteric to me.
Opinions?
