I think that would be considered an unsupported buld configuration
from QEMU's POV. Our platform policy is declared here:

  https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/about/build-platforms.html

and from this policy we decide the minimum versions of libraries
we intend to build against.

Our two oldest build targets are Debian 10 / RHEL 8, both of
which ship with GLibC 2.28.

IOW, trying to build with a sysroot contanining ancient glibc
2.17 is well outside what QEMU intends to support. 2.17 is
from circa 2012.

Thank you for the clarification. My use of 2.17 is purely accidental at that point (just reusing this Android prebuilt sysroot which is quite dated).
I will try with a Debian 10 based sysroot first and will let you know. Maybe these patches are not needed after all.

With regards,
Daniel
