That seems worse than the advertising clause.

Isn't this whole thing incompatible with the (L)GPL anyway? The code
in question has been highly modified and integrated into the glibc
source tree, presumably with the modifications under the LGPL, so the
library exclusion clause in the LGPL does not apply. Which brings us
back to clause 10 of the LGPL (6 of the GPL), which prohibits
additional restrictions.
