I note that this is fixed in -7: thanks. However, checking how it was
fixed was rather painful...

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=d05dd8538a552f4b4831d073eb11ff694d99419f

...since it seems like all Fedora patching of glibc is done in a single
giant patch, and that patch gets a ton of changes with every update, as
the whole thing is rediffed.

Is there a specific reason glibc does this? Can it not have a set of
patches, one per change, as is usual practice?
