Looks good. But it's only a listing of the commit subjects, correct?

All patches went through the lists as part of the normal developent
flow. They were not posted after rebasing.

For transparency I did the following follow-up changes:

* The rebase of "tools/nolibc: mark start_c as weak" required some
  minor changes to resolve conflicts.
* reword the message of
  "tools/nolibc: drop test for getauxval(AT_PAGESZ)" slightly.
* simplify the includes intruduced by
  "selftests/nolibc: add tests for multi-object linkage".

Sounds good, thanks!
