Very interesting
Using a colleague's i686 machine vfprintf.c did not fail with recent gcc-4.3.
This led to further research prompting not only the CC's but also the quote.
Dr. Edelsohn metioned triage but there are no triage officers in the MAINTERNER
list. Also it might be useful to spell out the rights of submitters. It might
discourage submissions which are quite onerous to conform to the already stated
requirements.
>From his webpage Mr. Berlin is a lawyer specializing in intellectual property
and is also an author. He might want to provide some legal advice on conflicts
of interest.
The quote is specific to glibc and AIX. Potentially the AIX contortions forced
upon glibc by Dr. Edelsohn could have caused the specific problem reported, not
affecting i686.
As an aside the officers of kernel.org (Torvalds, Morton) spell out quite
clearly how they are not liable to any interpretation of conflict of interest.
