I agree that syncing first with gnulib is the way to go.  Also,
Arnold, I think you should be aware that glibc is coming up on a
release freeze, so reviewers' time is going to be focused on
higher-urgency stuff for the next month or so.  I will try to find
time to assist with these patches but it won't be till January.
