Yes, sorry about that. When reading the changelog and the diff, I thought it was only for powerpc64, as ppc64el has a different ABI, but I was wrong. > I can see that this changed for the better, but what should I do with the > above > breakage?

I think it's an ABI breakage that should be fixed, but just reverting the patch will break the case without -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. I'll check with upstream and try to get the issue fixed in both testing/sid and stable. I'll keep you updated. In the meantime feel free to reassign the bug to the glibc.
