In general, it's not.  But future versions of gcc may want changes to
current versions of glibc.  We've seen that happen in the past, and it
is likely to happen again in the future.  (E.g., we needed to use
fixincludes when we flipped the meaning of "extern inline" from the
GNU89 meaning to the C99 meaning when running in C99 mode.)
