That's good news. :)

Thanks.

I hope you're enjoying your vacation.

I guess anything built between the upload of the broken glibc and the fixed
one needs to be rebuilt.
Looking at the Build-Attempted section of the sh4 buildd, almost all seem
to be caused by this problem and should be given back, e.g.:
* liblouisxml (glib2.0, already fixed)
* sqlsmith (after postgresql-9.6 is rebuilt)
* usbprog (after libgtk2.0-0 is rebuilt)
* pdftk (after libgtk2.0-0 is rebuilt)

Cool.
Best regards,
