That's not maintainable. Situations where one architecture has an
architecture-specific modified duplicate of an architecture-independent
file like this have to be avoided, because people will never reliably
remember to update the architecture-specific copy when changing the
architecture-independent version. The general direction in glibc is more
unification of sources for different architectures, not less.
