Thanks for the report.

there are no functional differences.

Since the eglibc project has closed its development (http://www.eglibc.org/archives/patches/msg01327.html), and that 2.19 is the final version. Are there any plans to switch oe-core to using glibc for the future? Just curious is all.

Sure there definitely are and we discussed it in Last OE meeting on
IRC recently, we will plan moving to using glibc after 2.19, so these
will be last 2.19 eglibc recipes.
