[fedora-arm] F13 glibc patches for ARM?

[Gordan Bobic]

How does one pick the correct "ports" part of glibc for the correct core?

I tried to build the RHEL6 glibc with the F13 ports tar ball, but the 
build eventually fails:
/usr/lib/gcc/armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi/4.4.5/libgcc_eh.a(unwind-arm.o): 
In function `__gnu_Unwind_Backtrace':
(.text+0x8b8): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm guessing this is to do with the mismatch between
glibc-ports-2.12-26-gcf64098.tar.xz from the F13 package
and
glibc-2.12-2-gc4ccff1-fedora.tar.bz2
glibc-2.12-2-gc4ccff1.tar.bz2
from the RHEL6 package.

Where do I get glibc-ports-2.12-2 ?
And what do the 8 characters at the end signify?
