I really need to ask that you to prioritize the work that remains. As
an example, adding additional EINTR tests falls under number 4 (finish
testing additional areas...) while 1-3 remain to be done. Speaking of
EINTR, as we spoke about before, a number of these interfaces have no
reason to block, and some of them even have no reason to make syscalls
at all. If more work still needs to be done testing cases that would
not fail except on an intentionally-broken implementation, that should
be a project for *after* GSoC, not taking up your time when we're
nearing the deadline.
