FYI, Debian is using the following commits on top of eglibc 2.10
(version 2.11 is far from ready except on a few architectures) without
known problems:
commit 22bdb3aa5b2cd760fd3bf1ee6c46c61e23457876
commit 488e337a17866ebdb9ca6a07f91fc9fcf9f1c3db
commit 8d7c09b162cd1687e21549f9aaaa3d4a9b39735c
The other commits basically looks ok at a quick glance, but I haven't
tested them.
