I've just tried this with glibc 2.16 and get the same problem. Trying to build glibc2.15 with gcc 4.7 gave a very similar error (Same '__EI___*' aliased to external symbol '__GI___*' with a different variable name.
Packaging from svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-glibc/glibc-package/branches/eglibc-2.16/debian libc sources from svn://svn.eglibc.org/branches/eglibc-2_16 (and the aarch64 patch from http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-10/msg00007.html munged to fit debian eglibc layout) This is now a blocker for the arm64 port, which only has gcc4.7 available and we need a cross-compiler to get started. Will investigate further.
