You do realize that your patch is a fork from glibc.  So forking from
gnulib is no different.  I personally used the gnulib-tool --local option
for m4 1.4.10; there are just some things that need to be personalized to
your package beyond what the generic behavior of gnulib can provide.

Why not push upstream on the glibc people, then?
