Indeed. On that subject there was some discussion at Linaro Connect
last week about work (being done outside Linaro, not sure how public it
is at this point) to pull together the current state of the art into a
Docker container image which people can use for benchmarking and as a
reference for how to pull things together. That should help with the
analysis, it'll at least make it easier for other people to reproduce
any benchmarking results.

Using Docker image sounds like a great idea.

That's fine and I would welcome it. However, I'm definitely against
using non-agreed ABI and further spreading such toolchains (or kernel

You might want to speak to some of your colleagues about that... in any
case I'll reply off list later today with information on the third party
working on this so you can get in touch, like I say I'm not sure how

time, even though the ABI has been NAK'ed).

I know, I'm not thrilled about that either. :/

Same for me.
As you have noticed, ILP32 was removed from Linaro's tracking kernel recently.
The thing is that we (builds&baselines team in Linaro) have been requested
to have a CI loop for ILP32. So I'll continue running it, but will use a
separate git branch for ILP32. The linux-linaro branch will not have ILP32
any more (or at least until ILP32 ABI is agreed on).

Thanks,
Andrey
