The question was about libc for Linux, not about Emacs on Debian.
[Actually I think the basic Debian Emacs patches are both unnecessary
and annoying (he says, typing at such an Emacs).]

Just one line per option (unless the description is longer than a
line). That's surely no longer than the info would be if the
template.h files had been kept up-to-date concerning all the flags.

That would be better. It's not just a question of simplification.
Things down the chain typically break systems higher up, as usg5-4.h
did, when they specify things that are not true for more recent or
more specific systems.
