Thank you for all your work!

Both are very interesting, could you make sure that by next Wednesday (6th
of April) there is feedback on this thread if this is either:
1. fixable, with a pointer to a fix
2. not fixed yet, but also not too bad (or not a regression to the former
state) and thereby does not block 19.11.12
3. not fixed yet, but being very severe blocking 19.11.12, but identified
the offending commit that shall be reverted
4. not fixed yet, but being very severe blocking 19.11.12, and an ETA of a
fix/mitigation

Based on that outcome we then need to decide if we need to tag -rc2 and
another round of verifications.

Thanks for identifying this one.
As in the past, we are willing to take build time fixes for newer compiler
stacks, but we are not blocked on releasing 19.11.12 unless platforms
formerly building and using it are affected.

Yes thanks, this one is indeed already applied
