Not an objection, but I'd *suggest* you don't do this; the most important
thing to do to glibc at this point is to *fix* it (#174267, #167909 and
arm building at least, afaict), and the easiest and most reliable way to
do that is to make the minimal changes needed, and leave it at that. The
time to do more development is once you've finished debugging, not in
the middle of it; otherwise you will just end up introducing more bugs
to fix, no matter how confident you are in the changes you're applying.
What progress has the arm problem seen, anyway? If a proper fix still
isn't written, what exactly is stopping the kludge from being used in
the meantime?
Cheers,
aj
