Hi,

Do you have any clue on when the gcc fix for stretch is to be released ?

Actually the retpoline-compliant kernel is ready, and gcc fixes for stretch seem to have already been implemented. So I dunno what is still blocking the release. :'(

​Ooooooooh! Tantalazing stuff....

The solution is to collectively burst into song; singing e.g. the Climb Every Mountain song from the sound of music

and "To Dream the Impossible Dream" etc. and then suggest we are going to post it on the site here in some way.

Then we relent and say we are happy to forget all about that idea if the fixes are released soon etc....

That would persuade me.

Cheers

Thanks a lot.
