Begin Testing of GLIBC 2.5

Base patches are in the patches repo, let the testing being ​http://svn.cross-lfs.org/svn/repos/patches/glibc/

Report any issues here. I'm going to start the testing this week, after sucessful completion of testing it will be added to the 1.1.x trunk for inclusion in the next release

Sparc 64 fails. This patch fixes the issue ​http://svn.cross-lfs.org/svn/repos/patches/glibc/glibc-2.5-sparc_fixes-1.patch

It works fine on x86. The iconv patch is no longer needed. Also, I got the same testsuite failure mentioned in the link Greg Schafer gave in his latest diy-linux message - ​http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2006-09/msg00039.html

Putting update into the book, tested on x86, x86_64, Sparc, and Sparc64. Testing still required on PPC, PPC64, alpha, MIPS, and MIPS64.

Please report all issue here in this ticket.
