Thanks for mentioning that. I finally got around to fixing the issues you 
mentioned, and installed the adjusted patch into the glibc master. As the patch 
is 5.6 MB I won't attach it here.

I ran into a problem, though: the remote on sourceware.org refused to patch 
three of the files, giving messages like this:

# remote: *** error: sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/ppc-mcount.S: trailing lines

or like this:

# remote: *** error: sysdeps/sparc/sparc64/multiarch/memcpy-ultra3.S: last line 
does not end in newline

I'm attaching a patch for the three files that the remote refused to fix. I 
assume that to install this patch I would need to fix the pre-commit hooks on 
the sourceware.org side, but I don't see how to go about this in 
<https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/GlibcGit#Git_Server_Maintenance>; am I 
looking in the wrong place?
