Hi,

I am the original patch author.

I submitted the patch to the mailing list but received no response
from a maintainer.

I am using the sbc codec in an embedded project and have to maintain
other patches for it anyway, so it was of low priority to get the fix
merged for me.

I previously submitted another arm related patch to the sbc library
and it was also not merged (although it did get an initial response,
just no follow through).

I get the impression the maintainers are simply busy elsewhere - the
sbc library code has remain unchanged aside from a single line bugfix
since 2014.

I also submitted a bug to gcc, since the issue was clearly a
regression in a newer compiler version.

You can find that bug here: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=85593

There was actually a patch made for the bug recently - so it may soon
be resolved in gcc trunk. Although that doesn't do much to fix the
issue for anyone using the compiler they have today.

I have not had opportunity to test the patch for gcc to see if it does
indeed fix the issue in the sbc code unfortunately.

Cheers,
Austin Morton
