The current ISO is installing the stable grimoire which contains a buggy glibc spell according to:

http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7560, Reported 2004-10-22
http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7831, Reported 2004-12-16

To solve this issue at least for building the ISO, an updated glibc spell (available in bug 7560) has been used. This spell is also installed by the ISO on the new system. So the end result is an installed system with a glibc spell NEWER than the one in the installed grimoire. This, according to Arwed, is not the proper way to do (See https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/sm-discuss/2005-January/009378.html).

Since a working spell is available in bugzilla and since there has been some work on glibc recently, I'd like to know what is the status of this work.

If it's working, I'd like to know when it will be available in stable. If it's not working or if it will not be in stable before the next ISO release, I'd like to know how the ISO team could provide a working ISO (what spell should be used for building the ISO, on the ISO and installed by the ISO and what grimoire should be installed by the ISO?)
