I had to use gettext-0.10.35 (previously using gettext-0.10) to get
it to be happy with msgtxt, despite it's `configure' comment. That caused
some fallout in other packages but is unrelated to glibc.
Of course, glibc-2.0.96 caused much (documented in Changes) fun with
gnu/getopt() and long options and various software packages. Other than
that, everything seems pretty happy (up from my glibc-2.0.95 homebrew
system).

I didn't have any problem with egcs-1.1b & libc-2.1.122. I tend to
compile my entire homebrew distribution with -O2, and I've seen problems
(in the past, against -2.0.95 but I couldn't test against anything
earlier) with some programs using that and had to drop down to -O to get
them to compile without bailing. I didn't have any problems with groff
(-1.11a) that I've noticed.
I usually don't run the tests. If the entire system lasts the ~5 hours
to compile everything with everything, it passes my linus-test. (:
