Just an update from the openSUSE Distribution: I've packaged the version 
from 20121109 and recompiled the whole distribution on x86-64 and did 
not notice any problems in glibc.

Around 10 packages needed to be fixed due to:

*    Some packages had missing includes (e.g. signal.h or stdint.h). 
Those are easily fixed by including the header defining the missing types.
*    The functions setfsgid() and setfsuid() produce warnings when the 
return value is not checked and thus fail to when -Werror is used. The 
proper fix is to check whether these functions have a return value less 
than 0.
*    clock_gettime() was moved from librt to libc. Some configure 
scripts check only whether clock_gettime is in librt and assume that 
other functions like mq_gettattr() are in the same library. So, the 
configure check for clock_gettime() in librt needs to be extended to 
look for other functions as well.

I've just submitted current head to rebuild all of x86-64 and once 
that's fine will push into openSUSE's development version.

So, everything fine from my side right now,

Andreas
