Sorry, I missed this message.
It's easy to add. It will work on all platforms. However:
(A) it will be a huge increase in disk space
(B) is that really what the submitter needs? Probably they want to
debug the macros in their source rather than in glibc's source...
If you need to debug that deep into glibc, you probably want to rebuild
it yourself anyway.
