No. For a glibc port to go upstream, all the build dependencies must be upstream (generally meaning GCC, binutils, Linux kernel - and, likewise, if one of those ports is removed upstream, that means the glibc port will be removed as well, as recently happened to the tile port because that Linux kernel port was removed). They only need to be upstream in the respective development mainlines, not on release branches. -- Joseph S. Myers joseph@codesourcery.com
