 Applied the series to master, thanks.

 As discussed on IRC:

 Apparently there won't be a glibc 2.26.1. It's up to distros to pick a git
commit to release. So we have the choice to either keep a lot of patches in
Buildroot, or use a git download instead of a tarball. The latter has the
disadvantage of having a silly version "number" (the sha1), and that git
downloads are generally much slower.

 For now, we have those 6 patches in Buildroot. This may change in the future.

 Regards,
 Arnout
