Thanks for checking.  Yes, it was a pain to update it since it needed 
converting from supporting one POSIX version to having cases for three; 
subsequent updates for the next major POSIX revision should be easier.  
(I think the occasional merge pain for such FSF glibc changes is 
inevitable, since proper cross-build support is important for EGLIBC and 
not acceptable for FSF glibc.)
