I can not find one in the latest Debian glibc-2.7 package I could find 
(in Lenny) and squeeze and sid both use glibc-2.10 variants that do not 
need that patch.  As Lenny was released about the same time that patch 
hit cvs/git, I am guessing that a patch was never needed for this 
particular issue.

Then again, I could be entirely wrong and missing it completely... 
Trying to compile other software indicates a newer glibc would be 
helpful anyway, so I am going to focus on getting the cross-compiler to 
work with glibc-2.10.

Thanks,
