I'm happy that the support for Aarch64 in rustc_codegen_gcc is getting closer to x86-64! Next step is some bug fixing and testing before doing a crater run.

I'm happy that unwinding is finally fixed: that was the biggest unknown for me. I'm also happy that we have very few UI tests from the Rust test suite that fail now: there are still some other test suites to run, but having only 21 failures among the UI tests is a big achievement.

We finally run the libcore tests with rustc_codegen_gcc in the CI of the Rust repo, which should help us a lot with the future syncs. We also finally merged a few more GCC patches, so the gap with upstream is slowly decreasing.

It was a bit more quiet recently. I hope to add the libcore tests (compiled with rustc_codegen_gcc) in the CI of the Rust repo soon in order to prevent test failures from coming back at every sync: this will greatly help us to focus on feature development.

We finally have rustup distribution for rustc_codegen_gcc! Now I'll get back to build rustc for a target not currently supported by Rust.

It's nice to see progress towards the milestone of having a rustc working on a target not currently supported by Rust. I can't wait to see that happen.

I'm happy to have finally fixed the issue we had with LTO (link-time optimization) and with cross-language LTO!

We've been making good progress towards running more tests for rustc_codegen_gcc in the CI of the Rust repo to make our syncs with it easier and also progress towards having rustup distribution.

We've got a few bugs fixed that allowed us to fully bootstrap the Rust compiler with rustc_codegen_gcc and to fix the CI for Rust for Linux compiled with rustc_codegen_gcc. We hope to improve our testing within the Rust repo in order to allow us to move faster towards our goals.
