That looks like it has different scope and goals from 
build-many-glibcs.py.

As another example, build-many-glibcs.py doesn't build GCC with ISL - 
because that's not relevant to testing different glibc configurations, so 
adding ISL to the build would just add extra irrelevant complications.

As another example closer to the present case, you're using 
--enable-gnu-indirect-function.  That option can definitely be relevant to 
the glibc build - but we also want glibc to be able to build with GCC 
versions not defaulting to enabling that option on all relevant 
architectures, and adding that option in build-many-glibcs.py on relevant 
architectures would both reduce test coverage and lead to extra duplicated 
knowledge in build-many-glibcs.py about which architectures that option is 
relevant on.
