I've now set up
<https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:Andreas_Schwab:glibc> to
rebuild all packages from
<https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Factory:Rings:1-MinimalX>
against a patched glibc. The latter project contains the packages that
we use for testing all updates for our openSUSE Tumbleweed distribution.
You can monitor progress at
<https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/home:Andreas_Schwab:glibc>.
Andreas.
