Just a heads-up. If you're thinking to build glibc 2.18-2.20 on legacy
systems to address the GHOST vulnerability, don't bother. The ABIs have
changed. You'll need a new run-time loader that knows about the new ABI
and then you may need to compile other libraries to work with the new
loader.
Instead, the simpler approach is to find the glibc sources for your
distro and manually apply Andreas Schwab's patch. You may need to patch
the code by hand because it's a Git diff and you may not have Git on a
legacy box or it may not work with the build system. Here's the patch:
