This doesn't deal with sysdeps/i386/fpu / sysdeps/x86_64/fpu headers - I 
suppose you'll deal with those separately.

What I want to see for such a patch is not so much the source code diff as 
a before-and-after diff of the installed headers for i386.  That's what 
needs reviewing - whether there are any semantic changes to the headers 
installed for 32-bit glibc.  And I think this will need splitting up into 
smaller pieces that are easier to review (each one with its own 
before-and-after diff of installed headers).
