no problem.. yeah I do remember 2.4.17(kernel), in my case over here
I follow glibc/kernel through git.

As for 2.3 was looking here:
http://oss.org.cn/man/linux/lfs/LFS_BOOK_6.0/chapter06/glibc.html
but for any patches for tls I'm not seeing much except for:
glibc-2.3.4-tls_assert-1.patch

looking at the dates, it's not that ancient(2004);
