I also notice you are missing a space between your name and your <email address>
in your Signed-off-by line. That said, Signed-off-by lines are not common in
glibc repository commits; they are not part of the documented commit process,
so I would avoid including them in your commits.
I'm not sure who is likely to commit your changes, or if you have commit rights
yourself, so I'm not sure how to answer as to whether you need to resend it.
