I have been running an armv7hl glibc 2.14-7 for the last few days
and haven't found any problems with it. It is the same as the
2.14-7.arm0 package with the addition of the arm-clone-unwind.patch
and the patch for http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10103

I put the src rpm at http://msalter.fedorapeople.org/arm/
If someone could build this and try it out on armv5tel and it doesn't
break anything, then I think we can start using it for both builds.
