I've just posted an updated version 
<http://www.eglibc.org/archives/patches/msg01255.html> of my list of 
residual glibc/EGLIBC differences, and updated the link on the wiki todo 
list.  You could start by working out which of those are potentially 
relevant to Debian (which of them would affect Debian release builds or 
have any effect on the installed binaries for any Debian architecture, 
conservatively) and see if you can get some or all of those into glibc - 
help with the merging task is always welcome.

(I expect the e500 port - for use by the corresponding unofficial Debian 
port - to be the most involved of the patches likely to be relevant to 
Debian, although some others may be tricky to work out the right approach 
for even if the patch itself is small.)
