Well, I consider glibc to be a critical base component, so I decided to
stick with a stable 2.14.1 release atleast for now.

Since 2.14.90 is the "unstable" becoming 2.15, but I dont the planned
release schedule, and I dont want to ship Mageia 2 with an "unstable"
branch.

As for the fixes you have done, there are atleast some interesting ones,
but I wanted this one out first with "minimal" changes to try and keep
it stable.

Now when there is a solid base the other changes can be reviewed and
done with small steps so we detect any regressions :)
