I didn't put as much work into glibc-2.2.3 patches, so I'm
sure you have a bit of work ahead of you, but it's quite
doable, and I'll gladly accept your patches.

Much of the time, the patches just need to be extracted by
hand from glibc's cvs repository.  I tend to use cvsweb at
http://sources.redhat.com/glibc/
a lot when backporting fixes.
