I had a poke at this, and although the cet-backport.diff file is present in the source package, it is not actually applied and hasn't been since some time in Groovy's development cycle afaict. This makes sense because also afaict, this all went upstream in glibc 2.32, which was the version in groovy.
So is what's needed a backport of this to focal? cet-backport.diff applies cleanly to the package I am preparing for upload to focal, so from that side of things it's all OK. We need a nice explicit glibc SRU bug clearly asking for this, complete with test case before that can happen though. I don't feel like I would be the best person to file this bug!
