NixOS developers have patched glibc. The commits are in the "staging-next" branch, so the fix is not widely available, but it's being fast-tracked.
glibc updates cause mass rebuilds (since almost everything depends on glibc), so I bet the Hydra build servers are very busy at the moment.
- Targeting master and unstable branches: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/285050
- Targeting NixOS 23.11 release: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/285329
Notice that the patch was not backported any further than 23.11, which is the latest stable release.
