That sounds like a bug in eglibc.  Perhaps you can fix this problem on the
eglibc side.  That is, eglibc can use only 2.6.26 features, but make an
exception for this feature, since it's obviously needed.

Or you can modify eglibc so that one can use confstr to
detect the fact that it's eglibc and what eglibc version
it is, and detect the eglibc bug that way.  But this sounds
like more work for everybody concerned -- it'd be better to
just fix the bug, surely.
