That's indeed not intuitive and caused me some troubles myself.
Technical reason for that is, CONFIG_EGLIBC_REVISION isn't set by
default but will be set depending on CONFIG_EGLIBC_VERSION_2_1X.
Once however a config symbol is set, it's not affected anymore by
changes which would have effective if they weren't set already.

I agree - we should fix the revision to the actual releases. I'll take a
closer look on this later today.
