--- Comment #1 from Roland McGrath <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
With this and the cross-gcc, stock Fedora packages make it easy to build-test
glibc for all architectures while doing development.  I hope we can get this
package or something like it in.

It doesn't make sense to have a million individual packages of sys-root
contents for Linux targets, since sysroots can be populated from real Fedora
RPMs where they exist.  But the cross-gcc and this cover many targets for which
there are no Fedora builds.  And the convenience of 'yum install gcc-*
kernel-headers-*' being all you need to do cross-development for glibc is
awesome for us.

Also note this uses the upstream kernel verbatim, without even stable patches,
let alone any of the patches in the Fedora kernel RPMs.  For cross-development
targetting the official kernel user ABIs this seems appropriate.
