I fully agree with your suggestion and think that it will be the big support for the project. I only want to clarity some details.

But they don't want to ask their questions publicly for some reason. From my point of view, there is not so big but stable interest in ILP32. Nevertheless. This is the 4.12 and linux-next - based kernel patches: https://github.com/norov/linux/tree/ilp32-4.12 https://github.com/norov/linux/tree/ilp32-20170724 And this is the glibc series I've created based on Steve's patches in glibc-alpha mail list (for reference only): https://github.com/norov/glibc/tree/ilp32-2.26 I hope I didn't miss any reviewer's comments. But if that happened i kindly ask to excuse me. Should I resend kernel patches to LKML, or links above are enough for you? Yury
