I found a patch in Debian to address this issue:

	* sysdeps/i386/i686/multiarch/strcspn-c.c: Add IS_IN (libc) guard.
	* sysdeps/i386/i686/multiarch/varshift.c: Likewise.

With this patch added, the grafted glibc builds successfully on i686.
I'm doing a few more tests, and then will push this in the next hour or
