I'm sorry, but I still don't understand why #179781 is glibc bug?

#179781 says that this bug forcuses __fixunsdfdi and __fixunssfdi are
appeared as .hidden attribute functions.  Please test below code

	main()
	{
	        unsigned long long a;
	        double b;
	        a=b;
	}

"gcc -S abovecode.c" says there is "__fixunsdfdi .hidden attribute".

I heard libgcc-compat for i386 was needed for the current debian-glibc,
but is this libgcc-compat patch resolves #179781 __fixunsdfdi .hidden
attribute problem?

Woody gcc-2.95.4 with libc6 2.2.5-11.2 output '.globl __cmpdi2'
instead of '.globl __fixunsdfdi', and this symbol is ok to resolve on
the current sid debian environment (so we can run such binaries).

Another question is: which symbols should we add for i386 libgcc-compat?

Please lead/explain to me...
