I don't see why we couldn't keep it somewhere (e.g. on a branch, or in
othersrc) along with a snapshot of the kernel headers it needs, and
thus still be able to build it. It wouldn't be that hard to set up, it
wouldn't require much attention, and it would be useful to have if a
security problem came along. Particularly if a security problem came
along while there were still supported releases using libc.so.12.
