Yes, I'm going to look at it now. Thanks!

Actually or1k (openrisc) was the one I had more hope for getting in
this release cycle, but yes also aarch64. The latter seems rather
stalled and we have several people who've worked on a port but each
left it in a partial state. Not sure what's the best path forward to
finish it.

Yes, I'm fine with omitting these if nobody objects.

Part of the agenda item is determining if they should be included. The
proposal for reallocarray seems to have been accepted by glibc, so
it's a likely candidate for inclusion. explicit_bzero seems like a bad
API (resurrecting the deprecasted bzero vs memset, poorly chosen name,
...) but I guess time will tell. As for error.h, I'm not sufficiently
knowledgable about it to have an opinion yet.

Either is fine, but either way it's nice to put [PATCH v2] or similar
in the subject (really anything to catch my attention that there's a
new patch attached).
