According to Mike Frysinger, this patch was removed from Gentoo in the
2.3.x series and didn't seem to cause any adverse effects. So toss it
from the patch directories for glibc 2.5 and up.

4 Subject: Patch for cross compiling s/390 kernel on linux host
5 Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2004 15:45:41 +0200
9 I had big problems compiling a kernel for s/390 on my linux host - I tried
10 different chains from crosstool-0.28-rc34 and finally succeded with
11 gcc-3.3.4-glibc-2.3.2 after applying another patch to binutils-2.15
13 All compilations of the different kernel versions I tried stopped with
14 "Invalid .insn format" somewhere. I checked the recent cvs version of
15 binutils and applied the latest diff to gas/config/tc-s390.c and that solved
