Left a minor comment. Also the title of the PR would be better to be more descriptive.
Other than that looks good, approved.

This PR does additional glibc fixes:
It adds a placeholder for libdl.a which is required for apps like python
Adds unwind_def object file for libc.a
Updated s_frexpl.c with latest glibc code to fix the build error. Essentially control flow always matched #else of the preprocessing directive which was causing build error for the file.
Compiler flags -mno-sse, -mno-mmx and -mfpmath-387 were used to build files within elf/ for shared builds and this was compilation errors as these flags are not supported for wasm. Hence, removed these flags and all files within elf/ are successfully compiled and object files are created.
Undefined symbol error were observed for 'pow' and other functions while running tests with glibc shared build. WebAssembly does not support ELF-style symbol versioning (.symver).
When compiling glibc shared objects (.os), the Clang Wasm backend silently drops public symbols (like
pow) that are wrapped in these versioning macros. Furthermore, since Wasmtime does not use thestandard Linux
ld.sodynamic loader, glibc's internal PLT-bypassing and hidden visibility mechanisms are incompatible. This commit updatesinclude/libc-symbols.hto:SHAREDbuilds by redefiningsymbol_versionanddefault_symbol_versionto fallback to standard Cstrong_aliasandweak_aliasmacros.visibility("hidden")attribute block for shared builds (acting as a hard guarantee alongsideCFLAGS="-DNO_HIDDEN").These changes force the glibc shared build to emit standard, globally visible symbols, mirroring the behavior of static (.o) builds and allowing the Clang Wasm backend to correctly link the library.
