Sure, invited -- and thanks for wanting to solve it! (I asked Mukesh
due to the IBM affiliation -- I didn't mean to exclude you, sorry).
Regarding the issue in `core`, for context: if the solution involves
adding `cfg`s, then we will need to discuss how to approach that,
because years ago we wanted to add some to cut down things we did not
need and they preferred to avoid to keep adding more conditional
compilation, so we only got the `no_fp_fmt_parse` (ec7292ad3c35
("core: add unstable `no_fp_fmt_parse` to disable float fmt/parse
code")). At some points in the past we discussed a targeted
`cfg(linux_kernel)` one (instead of several different ones) to avoid
that.
Cheers,
Miguel
