The glibc-pre2.1 maintainer is Juan Cespedes.
I asked him if I could go ahead and do a NMU for glibc-2.0.94. He wrote that
he's got no time right now and I should try.
So I fought two weeks with a 2.0.94 snapshot taken from Thorsten Kukuk's
rpm-src package. Finally I've got a libc which is usuable for me (Sparc 10,
sun4m). I left out all the patches from the 2.0.93 version which didn't impact
my box. Note that I left out the getpagesize fix.
Now I'm looking for testers before I upload the new version to master.
BEWARE: don't try this libc6 version if you don't know how to restore a broken
libc. You can totally hose your system if the included libc6 is broken for
you (as I did all the time while experimenting ;-)
I welcome reports from everyone who's brave enough to try the new version.
Please send positive comments, too.

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
