I would agree but, I would keep it noOpt by default as it is a safer default, and keeps closer to by the book, if someone really wants to optimize glibc they know they will want to and can override at their discretion. I've learned from experience over optimization especially with the core toolchain can create some very hard to track down bugs.
Now, the opt_config file. I'd like to ship it with MAKFLAGS="-j5" (quadricore CPUs are very common these days) True, their common but your assuming that most are building on current hardware, which I don't believe to be the case. I personally have always put linux on older boxes, and most systems I have access to are only dual core, so -j5 would be a bad default in that case.
