Because I'd say being clipped or not should not necessarily be the only 
reason we don't care about checking for the version of glibc. It may 
just happen to be a common reason now.

--disable-full-port could imply --disable-glibc-version-check, but 
--disable-glibc-version-check without --disable-full-port may still be 
useful.
