Yes, but that's a job for autobuilder, I'm afraid. When doing local 
changes, I have to draw the line somewhere about what I test, and what I 
don't, and testing builds against various libc providers is outside of that.

Generally, patches should be unconditional, because a) we should be able 
to send them upstream, b) conditional patches create several slightly 
different versions of source code, which is a maintenance headache.
