This is not a spelling correction, but a change from one dialectical
variation (British English, or more generally Commonwealth English) to
another (US English). This is OK if glibc uses US English consistently,
but I didn't think it did: I thought the rule was that both US and
non-US English variants are used depending on, uh, probably the variant
spoken by whoever submitted a given patch :)
