Thanks for pinging and continuing to ping this issue.

Thanks also for raising this issue at the glibc bof in the GNU Tools track at LPC.

The consensus in the room was that two things need to be done next:

- Split this patch up into more logical changes.
- Serious review of the changes in bootstrap relocation requirements due to the
  removal of nested functions. That in some cases switching to static may
  create bootstrap relocation requirements that aren't currently met. This may
  mean we need to refactor how the data is passed around to avoid those relocations.

Cheers,
Carlos.
