[ptxdist] [ANNOUNCE] OSELAS.Toolchain() 2024.11.0 released

Hi,

I'm happy to announce that I've just released OSELAS.Toolchain-2024.11.0.

This is a major release with significant changes. All components of the
primary toolchains have been updated to the latest versions. The highlights
are:
 - binutils 2.43.1
 - clang 19.1.3
 - gcc 14.2
 - gdb 15.2
 - glibc 2.40
 - kernel headers 6.11.6
 - rustc 1.82.0

Beyond that, glibc is now built with more hardening features enabled,
specifically --enable-bind-now and --enable-fortify-source.

The debug sections in all target libraries are now zstd compressed. And ld
will use that by default with --compress-debug-sections.

The minimum kernel version that glibc will run on is now v5.15.

Download the release here:
https://public.pengutronix.de/oselas/toolchain/

Debian / Ubuntu Packages will be available at
http://debian.pengutronix.de/

My current plan is to build packages for Debian trixie/sid, bookworm,
and Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04. The packages will show up in the near future.

Enjoy,
Michael Olbrich

Thanks for the release.  A "nice to have" would have been 64-bit time_t 
support in 32-bit libstdc++ to tick off one more box for Y2038 support. 
There was some discussion about this earlier this year:

Kind regards,

Arg, I completely forgot about that. Sorry about that. You should have said
something when I wrote about doing a new release last month...

Michael

So I looked at the --enable-year2038 option and it does nothing at all from
what I can tell. It seems to be an artifact of sharing stuff from the
binutils-gdb repo.

So the big question is: Is time_t somewhere hidden in the ABI?

I did find on bug report[1], but that's in a header, an if the whole BSP is
build with _TIME_BITS=64 then this is not a problem.

There is little to no information on this topic. In another bug report[2],
someone claims that at libfortran does not contain time_t in its ABI, but I
found nothing about libstdc++.

I did some tests with abi-compliance-checker and I think libstdc++.so looks
good, but I'm not 100% sure that what I did is correct. So this needs some
more investigation.

If you want to try it, the change I made is pretty simple:

The packages should all be available now. Please drop me a note if any are
missing.
