Don't make your life too difficult. Just apply the following patch
which should be in the next glibc snapshot.

Whom are you contacting? I'm with the glibc team and asked already
some times for patches and didn't receive any answer at all:-(. As
I've told you already Ulrich Drepper who's mainting glibc is moving at
