That was 41 weeks ago, and there were no further followups.  It sounds
likely that Eli's analysis here is correct and an older glibc would need
to be used.  In any case, I don't know what we can do about Emacs 24 now.
I'm therefore closing this bug now.

If this conclusion is incorrect and this is still an issue, please reply
to this email (use "Reply to all" in your email client) and we can
reopen the bug report.
