Can you take a look at

at https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/abuild/merge_requests/40

before you tag an abuild release.

<br>
In a week or two I will start work on setting up the 3.12 builders.<br>
Once those are up and running we have a feature freeze, which means we<br>
should avoid add new features and focus on fixing the current issues.<br>
<br>
Once we have the builder up, we should avoid do significant changes in<br>
toolchains and dependencies that influences how packages are built. For exa=
mple:<br>
<br>
=C2=A0- abuild<br>
=C2=A0- gcc<br>
=C2=A0- linux-headers<br>
=C2=A0- binutils<br>
=C2=A0- go<br>
=C2=A0- llvm/clang<br>
=C2=A0- rust<br>
<br>
If those (or similar packages) needs to be bumped to new major version,<br>
now is the time to do so.<br>
<br>
I have already bumped gcc to 9.3 and binutils to 2.34, and I plan to<br>
tag a new release of abuild before the freeze.<br>
<br>
Other things that I&#39;d like to have fixed for the 3.12 release:<br>
=C2=A0- fix aarch64 crystal with newer llvm[1]<br>
=C2=A0- go default linking[2]<br>
<br>
I would also like to fix rust triples to be consistent[3].<br>
<br>
Are there other things that should be prioritized before the feature freeze=
