Status of support for recent host glibc

Status of support for recent host glibc

I just got hit by the following dunfell build issue on my debian/testing
dev box:

 argp-fmtstream.c:(.text+0x4ca): undefined reference to `_IO_fwide'
 /home/yann/yocto/meta-blade/meta-shadow-os/build-boxv2/tmp/hosttools/ld:
argp-fmtstream.c:(.text+0x51d): undefined reference to `_IO_fwide'
 /home/yann/yocto/meta-blade/meta-shadow-os/build-boxv2/tmp/hosttools/ld:
argp-help.o: in function `argp_failure':
 argp-help.c:(.text+0x1fb1): undefined reference to `_IO_fwide'
 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
 make: *** [Makefile:60: localedef] Error 1

After some digging I found https://patchwork.openembedded.org/series/20136
whose patch 4
addresses this very problem.

I could not find any discussion about those patches (it's hard to be sure
though, I found the
new mail archive quite impractical).

Are there any reasons why this 2019-09 series is still NEW ?

Please send a backport request if its not already done so and Cc Steve 
Sakoman ( dunfell maintainer ), also  check the supported hosts list for 
dunfell

https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/3.1/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#detailed-supported-distros

this case is not seen on commonly supported distros hence no request to 
backport perhaps. Debian testing is rolling distibution and its hard to 
support time based releases on top of rolling host distributions.

I know its confusing but
For OE-core and bitbake too, patchwork is not primary tool for 
cherry-picking patches from mailing list, its email based, since its 
primarily driven by maintainer's convenience more than anything else. so 
dont read into status of the patchwork series status.

Well, since those days I'm working on migrating away from sumo, I'll avoid
diverting
other's efforts there, since building in a chroot is pretty fine.

OK. But then it looks like the mail archive ought to make it easier to
navigate threads - I spent quite
some time trying to figure out if there had been any followup to this
series, and I'm still usure of the
answer.  It seems quite surprising there would be no thread view in this
software ?

Sumo is now EOL (https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Releases), you'll
probably need to update to something more recent to support Debian
testing.

My bad (too many build trees), it is a sumo build.
