Thanks very much for your detailed explanation.
I check the changelog of eglibc 2.13 branch(latest is 15508), and they 
are some tiny updates except the revision 15226 that is same with 
current patch

glibc_bug_fix_12454.patch

And I made the rough tests of image-sato of qemu-x86 and qemu-arm and 
results are fine.
