I started looking at 2.14.7.arm0 (v5) vs 2.13.90.9.0.arm1 (v7) this
morning. It is not clear to me if glibc-2.14.7.arm0 does have arm
specific patches. 2.13.90.9.0.arm1 does have:

 glibc-arm-mathdefs.patch
 glibc-arm-tzdata.patch
 glibc-arm-clone-unwind.patch

It looks like glibc-arm-tzdata.patch isn't needed in 2.14.7.

Upstream commit 998832a46688b9fb3a101eccae77bc45e7c1d7ab:

    Always provide declarations of long double math functions when !_LIBC

appears to fix the problem glibc-arm-mathdefs.patch tries to work
around. It is a simple patch which easily backports to 2.14.7.

The arm-clone-unwind is still needed and applies to 2.14.7.

So, I'm in the process of building the 2.14.7 glibc for armv7hl with
the long double math and unwind patches added.
