I am excited that this kind of work is going forward.

The next step here is that we need to work out the copyright assignment
for this work so we can accept the patches.

The contribution checklist explains "FSF copyright Assignment":
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Contribution%20checklist#FSF_copyright_Assignment

I would suggest a futures assignment:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/plain/doc/Copyright/request-assign.future

This would allow the community to review and accept any of your 
patches that you post

If you're going through the process I usually recommend getting 
assignments in place for glibc, gcc, gdb, and binutils, because
all 4 projects share headers, that way you can post patches
across all of them. However, this is just a recommendation.

If your educational institution claims copyright on work you 
create you may need to tell the FSF that and they in turn may
need to sign a corporate disclaimer.

This process is usually quite fast and smooth.

Your last patches in 2013 were < 15 lines, and so were accepted
under the flexible rules regarding legally significant
contributions. 

Thank you again for all of this work! :-)

Cheers,
Carlos.
