Does "M4 hardware" mean running directly on Apple's M4 CPU bare metal, or does it also include running inside a virtual machine under Parallels, VMware Fusion, UTM, etc.? If this is a problem inside virtual machines, I personally don't think that would be acceptable. If it's a baremetal-only issue, then meh, probably not that big of a deal. Just my 2 cents on the matter. -- Aaron > Cheers, > Simon > > [0]: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=NEWS;hb=glibc-2.42 > > -- > ubuntu-devel mailing list > ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
