Bug#850887: TC Involvement: MIPS and binutils

[Sam Hartman <hartmans@debian.org>]

Hi.

As you are probably aware, the question of what to do about linking on
mips and stretch has been referred to the TC.
There's a reasonable probability that we're going to want to move very
quickly on this issue, and I wanted to reach out to you and see how we
could best work with you to collect your input.

I'd be happy to set up an IRC discussion, to set up a phone call, etc.
I think that might work better than an email discussion, because the
email discussion might involve a number of round trips.
I'd be happy to work one-on-one and summarize results/provide logs back
to the entire TC, or to set up something open to as many people as we
can.
Also if there's a TC member you'd rather work with than me, I'm sure
we'd be happy to facilitate this.

I'm hoping that you will be able to quickly work with us to understand
this issue and your position.

Thanks for your consideration,

--Sam
