I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that there are no more linker warnings in the RTS!!! :D

The bad news:

1. There are still some symbols missing, but I think they are only 
present within the GNAT libraries. This has to be fixed, but it is not a 
priority now.

2. The patches are the most horrible fix anybody ever came with. 
Basically I just modified the __posix files directly to make it work. 
Not very upstream friendly lets say.

3. Finally, and this is killing me. While running the ACATS test suit, I 
am getting stalled tests. This has happened in the past, where some 
tests just stall and block everything. "No problem" just kill a couple 
of tests.
However, for the past day, a lot of tests are stalling. Like 1 every 5. 
Heck, some tests that are stalling are compilation tests, meaning that 
one it compiles, it basically does nothing and it doing nothing is 
considered a PASS, for example test

,.,. A83A02B ACATS 4.1 21-08-30 18:26:03
---- A83A02B CHECK THAT A LABEL IN A NESTED TASK CAN BE IDENTICAL TO A
                 LABEL OUTSIDE THE TASK.
==== A83A02B PASSED ============================.
PASS:   a83a02b

passed when I killed it. Some are failures when I kill them, others that 
are/seem stuck are not. But I think they are all related to the tasking 
system.

The worst part is that if I leave some tests running indefinitely, such 
as the example test above, my NetBSD VM dies. I increased the memory 
from 4Gb to 7Gb. Some tests, when left to run, kill the machine.

Since this behaviour is rather recent, I am inclined to believe it is 
some other patch that I applied that is not screwing with GCC/Tests. A 
lot of these tests used to PASS without issue, even with the linking 
problem.

Simon, have you seen this behaviour? Any tips?
