That means binaries built against it can still run on sparc v8 hardware,
right?

That sounds like my 2. to me, so ok with me. Perhaps wait for another
few hours so that another release team member might cluebat me in case I
missed something before doing the upload 1..

That would be great indeed (and BTW, gcc could build-depend on the new
glibc version on sparc to make sure it really depend on that version).
(Weaker alternative would be to just shlib-bump gcc by adding the
dependency information on sparc by hand, but that doesn't prevent newer
binaries to go to testing without glibc, so probably a bad idea.)
