I’m testing the patch below to upgrade glibc to 2.40 (I’m at
‘gcc-mesboot-4.9.4’ so there are still quite a few hours before I get
around to building glibc).

I think we must upgrade glibc in this branch because (1) we want to get
rid of this graft and more generally get the latest fixes, and (2) we
cannot just ungraft since the graft uses ‘git-fetch’, which cannot be
relied on in ‘commencement.scm’ (we still assume that
‘builtin:git-download’ may be unavailable, and when it’s unavailable, we
have a circular dependency).

Thoughts?
