this should include the bug number 19767
the title as well as the description should make it clear that
only x86 behaviour is changed, this is a generic issue in glibc
and ideally all targets should have the same behaviour eventually.
it is also useful to mention if you tested the patch on non-x86
targets since the header changes seem to affect them.
