[ACTIVITY] Week 13

[Charles Baylis]

== Progress ==

qemu-system experiment [4/10]
Tried to set up qemu-system for reliable simulated validation of tests
which don't work under qemu-user. Mostly works, but there is arcane
interaction between DejaGNU, gcc testsuite and board files which make
it a bit flakey. Interesting experiment, but I've dropped it for now
as there still niggles to iron out.

Misc [4/10]
Patch review for Prathamesh
Backporting stuff
ABE bugzilla stuff
Benchmarking results
Emails/doc review about Lab infrastructure

== This Week ==

* TCWG-619:
- LTO and non-LTO builds of v8 and chromium on x86, arm, and aarch64 native and
x86->arm, x86->aarch64 cross.
- LTO build for v8 on arm native and with x86->arm cross works with linaro-4.8,
but not with linaro-4.9. Also appears to fail for trunk.
- Issues in building chromium cross x86->arm - undefined reference to
clock_gettime.

- Patch approved by Charles.

== Next Week ==
- v8 LTO build with different lto options.
- Investigate LTO build failure for v8 on arm.
- LTO and non-LTO builds for chromium on x86, arm and aarch64.
