I’ve been meaning to write a post about this bug for a while, so here it is (before I forget the details!). First, I’d like to thank a few people: My friend Gabriel F. T. Gomes, who helped with debugging and simply talking about the issue. I love doing some pair debugging, and I noticed that he also had a great time diving into the internals of glibc and libgcc. My teammate Dann Frazier, who always provides invaluable insights and was there to motivate me to push a bit further in order to figure out what was going on.

I believe the outcome was very positive, and we were able to tackle and fix quite a number of release-critical bugs. This is a brief report of what we did. A remote BSP It’s not the first time I organize a BSP: back in 2019, I helped throw another similar party in Toronto.
