Also last time I check from official documentation [1], it uses ancient
version without any documentation to actually build/check glibc on it.
I have the impression it is bit-rotten for some time.
If the idea is to keep supporting, I think we need at least proper
documentation on how to actually build and tests, preferable with
build-many-glibc.py support.
