I still think this would be a lot more useful if each issue said to be a 
glibc bug had a link to the corresponding report in glibc Bugzilla.  (See 
what I said in <http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-01/msg01016.html> 
regarding reopening bugs that were wrongly closed, tracing requirements 
back to POSIX and ISO C, etc.)

Some of those bugs may already be filed, but others may need filing (or 
reopening).  And in any case, whatever produces the test descriptions in 
these LSB reports needs to be updated to refer to the glibc bugs (or as 
applicable, upstream bug reports for other system components in which LSB 
is detecting bugs).
