I guess he's referring to how many distro's, especially RPM-based 
distro's, release multiple versions of the same glibc version. Currently 
fedora's glibc-2.3.2 is
$ rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.3.2-101.1

Which has several patches that may, or may not, be part of the released 
glibc provided by gnu. At least that's how I understand how it works...
