Can you post the glibc update patch?

Probably unrelated, but we also have to change the '--enable-kernel'
configure flag to say '3.2.0' since that is the minimum supported by
glibc 2.26.

Also, one month, yay!  Hopefully a shorter schedule will reduce the
amount of build issues during each round.

Since we're on the topic, I would like to switch to GCC 6 or 7 soon...
Are we agile enough to use the very latest GCC by default yet? :-)
