Eglibc does not create "releases". And there are no mirrors of their
svn repository.
AFAIK, eglibc is dead anyways. Last time I checked the eglibc svn (a
few days ago) the last change was in June. Coincidently, twitter has
this post in June:

Debian has also switched back to glibc from eglibc for the same reason
(also in June 2014):

I would say, it's probably down, because that project is dead. Use
glibc or uclibc.
