Sure I'll update my patch accordingly.

Yes, that needs fixing too.  I think someone who has access to such a
platform and can test it should write the fix.  I.e. not me. :-) Part
of my motivation for installing the testcase is to bring to the
forefront other platforms where this kind of fix is necessary.

But I'm willing to help answer questions if you want to give it a try.
You can start by cut&pasting the existing fixes for the same macro and
changing it as needed for your glibc.
