You misunderstand the patch.  The code is left out for new ports and
if somebody when compiling glibc specifies the oldest supported ABI is
2.2.5.  This is a special build which somebody has to select
deliberately and which means s/he is completely taking compatibility
issues in her/his own hands.  Nothing to worry about.  Something like
this is useful if you build binaries for a closed environment you have
complete control over.  This includes the compiler to use.
