But fixing that was the point of your GCC patch.  I don't think working 
around deficiencies in previous versions of GCC, that aren't necessary to 
work around for building glibc, is within scope for build-many-glibcs.py; 
it's enough that the bug (cross compiler different from native) was fixed 
in the logically correct place (in GCC, for future GCC releases).
