Those are binary packages that the glibc source package can build but that
it only builds on non-release architectures... so indeed the binary
packages are unknown by packages.debian.org which only knows about
packages available on official mirrors.

And the list of binary packages is currently taken from the "Binary" field
in the .dsc and there we don't have any detail about architecture support,
etc.

The tracker also doesn't scan all architectures currently (for performance
reasons) so it doesn't know which binary packages do really exist across
all architectures.

Basically, there's no easy fix currently.

Cheers,
