just wanted to share the modifications I had done for having a newer glibc. Taken the version 2.27-2 from Arch Linux therefore as it is compatible for compiling with gcc-6 - another friendly reminder that we need a newer development-stack as version 6 reached its end of life.
Getting the files from here. The PKGBUILD is:

# Contributor: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
# toolchain build order: inux-libre-lts-api-headers->glibc->binutils->gcc->binutils->glibc
# NOTE: valgrind requires rebuilt with each major glibc version

}Please note therefore, that you also need to modify the file lib32-glibc.conf and build an INIT-script for nscd as the version coming up from Arch Linux uses systemd completely. So you should therefore also have a look onto the glibc here at Hyperbola. I'm testing this one for some days now and it is running very well. Happy hacking!
