I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

Glibc assumes that ENTRY_POINT is the lowest address for which we need
to keep profiling records and BFD linker uses a linker script to place
the input sections.
Starting from GCC 4.6, the main function is placed in .text.startup
section and starting from binutils 2.22, BFD linker with

* scripttempl/elf.sc: Group .text.exit, text.startup and .text.hot
sections.
places .text.startup section before .text section, which leave the main
function out of profiling records.
Starting from binutils 2.15, linker provides __executable_start to mark
the lowest address of the executable. Use __executable_start as the
lowest address to keep the main function in profiling records. This fixes
[BZ #28153].
Tested on Linux/x86-64, Linux/x32 and Linux/i686 as well as with
build-many-glibcs.py.

The function, main, is added to profiling output of static executable
which must link against gcrt1.o.
