Yann E. MORIN says:
"Although eglibc can be configured to include/exclude parts of the
features, it seems to not be in wide use, if at all."

v4: now actually commit the rephrased text.
v3: rephrase the help text to make it clear that the eglibc build is given,
address the comment of Thomas Petazzoni.
v2: mention in the help text that eglibc may lack some features as suggested
by Yann E. MORIN.

+ Note: eglibc is a variant of glibc that (among other things) can be
+ configured to exclude some of its features. Using a toolchain with
