I note that at least Debian still uses the longer cycle. Moving to the
shorter cycle sounds very good. It not just saves build time, but it
also removes the need for a lot of hacks to Debian's package metadata.
I'll be working to try the modern approach for Debian and thus make
Debian drop the patch I mentioned initially. I've seen
build-many-glibcs.py earlier and believe that it provides sufficient
documentation for doing so.
Thank you for your detailed reply.
Helmut
