Starting with version 2.3.6-6, the glibc build a libc6-xen. This closes
this bug.

There are still direct gs:offset references in the libc6-xen binaries,
because of missing #ifdef NO_TLS_DIRECT_SEG_REFS here and there.

I am not competent to do the changes in the glibc, and they are not present neither in the glibc CVS, nor on the xen wiki, contrary to what has been said previously in the bug report.

Note however that I found strange that the xen wiki does not describe the changes you are wanted to be implemented, nor says that the patch they propose is incomplete. Moreover the fedora packages they propose also does not contain much fix than in the Debian glibc. So maybe it is not possible to do better than what is already done?

I may be wrong, in that case, it would be nice if somebody could write a patch and send it to the glibc and/or xen upstreams, hence the help tag.

Bye,
Aurelien
