Unfortunately not absolutely,
nevertheless i386 situation can be easily fixed in glibc when
- support for real i386 hardware is dropped (already done)
- support for pre-2.4 kernels is dropped (seems planned, see #339827)
glibc fix contains two steps:
- add "libc_MIN_KERNEL_SUPPORTED=2.4.1" into debian/sysdeps/i386.mk
- copy linuxthreads/sysdeps/i386/i686/pt-machine.h into linuxthreads/sysdeps/i386/i486/pt-machine.h
