i think the assumption is not that everyone uses glibc but that everyone
else (as in, every other libc) can simply take the necessary changes from
glibc, provided they need such changes at all (i.e., they're using the
vsyscall entry points over the vdso ones).
i frankly didn't check any of the alternatives myself (uclibc/klibc/bionic/etc)
but i can't imagine that it'd be that much harder to patch them than glibc.
as i said, this was a compromise solution but then i think you already made
it clear that you didn't even think there was a problem here to solve, so i
guess we should work that out first, if you want to ;).
