I assume you are talking about:

  <https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.26.tar.bz2>

We don't update the tarballs from the release branch (for any release).

I see this:

commit 1c9a5c270d8b66f30dcfaf1cb2d6cf39d3e18369 (tag: glibc-2.26)
Author: Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@sourceware.org>
Date:   Wed Aug 2 18:27:16 2017 +0530

    Update for 2.26 release

The tarball has a comment=1c9a5c270d8b66f30dcfaf1cb2d6cf39d3e18369
header.  The uncompressed is bit-wise identical to the output of:

  git archive glibc-2.26 --prefix=glibc-2.26/

So I think everything is consistent.

Thanks,
Florian
