Thanks, I'll look at it later (prob. tomorrow).

The patchset for glibc-2.10.1 was vampirised from Gentoo. As that patchset
did not differentiate between the 'core' glibc and the ports addon, I tried
to split the patchset, but it is not easy at all. So I decided to include
the patchset as a patchset against glibc-ports only, so that the patches
would be applied only after ports is extracted.

This is ugly, I know. A better patchset will be helpfull. I'll look at
your stuff later. Thank you!
