Personally I like not using tabs, but (a) the current glibc convention 
definitely uses tabs and (b) changes like that definitely don't belong in 
an unrelated patch series.

I don't think the convention of tabs for every eight columns is 
*documented* GNU style, it's more like "GNU style by default because it's 
what Emacs does by default" (you can stop Emacs doing it with an 
appropriate .dir-locals.el, but then you need to re-enable tabs in 
.dir-locals.el for makefile-mode and any other modes that should continue 
to use tabs).
