No.  Run build-many-glibcs.py with --strip, copy the install/glibcs 
directory, run again with --strip and the patch applied, compare the 
old and new install/glibcs directories and grep out irrelevant differences 
such as .a files and nscd.

(I wonder if glibc should build deterministic archives by default to avoid 
the timestamp differences in .a files and so facilitate cleaner 
comparisons of whole install trees.)
