Generally Glibc does not take a Linux port until Linus' kernel tree
supports the machine.  Maybe LA32 isn't a completely new port, but the
spirit should be the same: if the ABI between kernel and userspace isn't
defined yet, Glibc developers are not in a position to define it.

And I think the epoch symbol version of LA32 should be GLIBC_2.43
instead of GLIBC_2.36.

And, as a new 32-bit port (or sub-port) IMO we should start to force the
use of 64-bit time_t on the first day we add it, instead of repeating
the nasty and still ongoing time_t transition for the existing 32-bit
ports in the (not so far) future.
