Thanks!

I linked to one (and said 'see [url] for his Changelog entry')
- sorry, I should have just copied it verbatim so it would have been easier to read.

Absolutely.  I'm trying to train the linux-arm-toolchain@lists.arm.linux.org.uk
folks to always include the URL of the bug report and of the origin of
the patch when proposing patches.  I'll make sure they know that a glibc
bugzilla number will help their patches get heard.
