I don't know if it is within my rights to request that the patch be

weeks is a bit troubling.  For what it's worth: sparc-sun-solaris2.10

I believe it takes two maintainers to start the clock.  I vote that we
start the clock, but I also think that if we can help Richard figure out
what's going wrong, that would be a very good thing.

It appears that RTH has a patch for this. I am bootstrapping it on mipsel-linux right now. Unfortunately my hardware is quite slow, so I will not know the results for another 28 hours or so.

I think the cause of the failure is understood and I am optimistic that RTH's patch will solve this problem. In any event people are actively working towards a solution, so the 48 hour clock would seem to no longer be necessary.

Thanks,
David Daney
