We picked up on the current bugs
Bug #162 Determining System Endianess during preprocessing OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=162
Nick reported that the C committee hasn't shown enthusiasm to introduce
macros for endianess handling. They are not opposed but somebody needs
to do the work and preferably before the April C committee meeting.
If any of the people commenting here has interest, please provide a little
paper describing the new feature with justification and changes to the
spec. Either post it to the C committee mailing list directly or post it
to the Austin Group mailing list and it will be appropriately forwarded.

Bug #0000213 Definition of pututxline() is slightly too restrictive to allow
flexible implementations OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=213
We considered this during the 2010-01-21 conference call.
We agree with Bugnote: 375 and plan to address that issue.
We are concerned that the main change proposed for this issue would have
observable effects on existing applications, and may lead to breaking such
applications.
We are willing to remove the absolute requirement to implement pututxline
with getutxid, but not to go as far as suggested. Proposed new wording:
If the process has appropriate privileges, the pututxline( )
function shall write out the structure into the user accounting
database. It shall search for a record as if by getutxid() that
satisfies the request. If this search succeeds, then the entry
shall be replaced. Otherwise, a new entry shall be made at the
end of the user accounting database.
Bug #0000214 "dot" should mention the effect of `return' Accept as Marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=214

Action: Andrew review the bugs for any interpretations ready to start their
review cycle
