First of all, I recommend to build release/2.16/master, it is a stable
bugfix-only branch 15 commits ahead of glibc-2.16.0.

This one has to be updated, either to monolithic glibc-fedora.patch from f18
or rather to individual patches from my split of it,
see "git log alt/2.16/branch..alt/2.16/glibc-fedora" in
http://git.altlinux.org/people/ldv/packages/?p=glibc.git

The split was upstreamed to fedora (their glibc >= 2.16.90-3).

This change is already applied upstream.

Keep this one, the rediffed commit is
543c457cdc0cce9bfa9868a9b5aa7b6cd0a2fccc.

> Patch400: glibc-2.3.3-owl-crypt_freesec.diff

I haven't checked this one, most likely has to be updated.

> Patch401: glibc-2.3.5-owl-alt-res_randomid.diff

This is problematic due to threading issues, needs work.

> Patch405: glibc-2.3.5-owl-alt-syslog-ident.diff

Keep this one, the rediffed commit is
9dbf475ddab96c245a70f8fc047f6c00b29f1dde.

> Patch406: glibc-2.16.0-mjt-owl-alt-syslog-timestamp.diff

Keep this one, the rediffed commit is
d2f48c437a22362834dea65f97ba0dcaccb450e5.

> Patch407: glibc-2.3.5-owl-alt-resolv-QFIXEDSZ-underfills.diff

Don't remember the fate of this one, will check later.

> Patch409: glibc-2.3.3-owl-tmp-scripts.diff

Update it to commit b9ec178c7305d10858a1ab3f16173972a5aae2e7.

> Patch411: glibc-2.16.0-owl-alt-sanitize-env.diff

I don't know what glibc-2.16.0-owl-alt-sanitize-env.diff is;
My version of the sanitize-env patch for 2.16 is commit
1d2c54e0fb910fa7925af5b47089cf2482e25e70.

Most of my thoughts ended up with commits in
http://git.altlinux.org/people/ldv/packages/?p=glibc.git

There are several branches worth attention:
- alt/2.16/branch is release/2.16/master with my backports from branch
  master of http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;
- alt/2.16/glibc-fedora is alt/2.16/branch with bits of monolithic
  glibc-fedora.patch applied;
- alt/2.16/fedora is alt/2.16/glibc-fedora with some more fedora patches
  applied;
- alt/2.16/patches is alt/2.16/fedora with alt/owl patches applied.
