glibc 2.34 is coming to impish tomorrow

Hi everyone,

This is just a bit of advance notice that we'll be uploading the new release of glibc, 2.34, to impish in about 24 hours and are hoping we can get it migrated before feature freeze next week. So expect autopkgtest queues to be a bit clogged for a while.

As Matthias mailed yesterday we have done a test rebuild with the new glibc and while it causes a few build failures we're working through there is no evidence of trouble running existing binaries so hopefully the new version won't be too disruptive. But finding that out is what all those autopkgtests are for :-)

Cheers,
