I wonder if this libc change means that database indexes may have to
be rebuilt.  This:

  <http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-createdatabase.html>

suggests âyesâ.  Which means that adopting this change as part of a
system glibc update is quite risky.

I have no idea how to communicate this appropriately.  Maybe we should
ask the PostgreSQL folks about opinions on this matter.
