OK, OK.  I release -11 this night. 

I experimentally add my cmov fixing patch in this release that has not
accepted in upstream yet.  This fix also causes loading libraries
slower if LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set.  It may be removed in -12, or I will
make another patch to speed up dynamic loading.

#178645 (glibc needs to export __umoddi3 et al. on sparc) is another
item.  There are no activity with sparc32.  I plan to look it.

#175526 is m68k thing.  Rebuilding it needs much time.  However it
can be removed from glibc BTS.
