I have reproduced this bug many times. And I have validated this patch on  
arm, mips, x86 platforms, it did work OK.
By the way, the patch only changes the default glibc version of  
micro.conf, so it will not kill other distributions.

As eglibc is default libc for micro, this patch just added default glibc  
version, so it will not hit any users of micro using eglibc.
