Wrt. me it's more the latter. 

More precisely, unlike with your avr-toolchain (which I reviewed/am
reviewing), which resemble very much to my toolchains (i.e. I knew about
potential issues in advance), I am not familiar with glibc's details.

A detail inside of your specs causing me head-ache is the "bootstrap"
stuff. I am not yet convinced this to be "the right thing(tm)".
