There is absolutely zero chance that GLibc becomes part of the Android open-source platform for licensing reasons. (same for uCLibc, KLibc, DietLibc and EGlibc by the way)
That doesn't mean that we are totally opposed to people providing patches that would allow to use the Android sources with GLibc, but we are not going to support this effort (which means that if some of our changes break a GLibc system, that will be *your* problem, patches welcome). Also, we make absolutely no guarantee about the correct behaviour of a GLibc-based Android system, *especially* with regards to security.
