Isn't this a showstopper?  Is there any reason not to merge into
branches/release right away?

There are, however, two tests (exec and exec-dynamic) that are failing
on trunk for all platforms. Do these need fixes?

I must have missed that thread. Which one was it?

We never re-branch the trunk. If a library has changes in trunk that
should go in the next release, those changes need to be merged into
branches/release.
