 Interesting results.  I haven't checked the detail of your glibc
against what I logged for ppc64 in the "clfs-1.1.0" ticket, but some
of it certainly had a familiar feel to it.

 I've just uploaded my pure64 and powerpc64 patches for 4.2.4
(pure64 had rejections, as did powerpc64 - the new pure64 works on
x86_64-64, I haven't had time to start testing ppc64 (multilib) yet).

 Fingers crossed for your 2.6.24.7.
