+ stats are missing, problem with Jenkins

+ some older builders start to segfault on the code (compiler crashes)
+ Noel had a stab at fixing those clang crashes, is this still outstanding? (Caolan)
+ not sure (Cloph)
+ seems to be limited to the macOS 12.5 / xcode 14.2 (Cloph)
+ newer macs are delivered with new macOS / newer xcode
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ A11y update (Michael W)
+ gtk4: improve a11y role mapping upstream and in LO

+ Do you need commit access or you expect reviews for your changes? (Hossein)
+ Wouldn't mind a review, good to have a 2nd set of eyes
+ appreciate if others also take a look.
+ build with wsl-as-helper but from within git-bash (Cloph)
+ all changes are submitted to master
+ works with srcdir != builddir
+ not sure if to keep doxygen in wsl or not
+ initially was running out of memory with it, but have new ideas
+ considering it as finished for now
+ installer uses strawberry perl, not git-bash-perl for now.
+ thanks a lot, this is greatly appreciated, helped the Windows arm work (Thorsten)
+ seeing some hangs, though.
+ when building with help, saw those (Cloph)
+ saw it without help, but only on arm (Stephan)
+ would be interesting to see if the hanging process is also suspended (Cloph)
+ if so, that would be the one Cloph is also seeing with xsltproc/xargs
+ RFC: makefile cleanup/simplification (Cloph)
+ example: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/167005
+ if no concerns, would continue with this, turning these calls into just variablse
+ idea: give it a week for people to look at it, and decide
+ anything that makes gbuild less indirect, love it (Thorsten, Stephan)
+ what is the counter-argument? (Caolan)
+ makes the history harder to read (Cloph)
+ suggest to not wait for a week (Caolan)
+ Progress on Dev Guide API doc links (Ilmari)
