I don't see anything to suggest that Arch uses eglibc. The glibc package in the repos is clearly the original glibc (look at the name, package URL, and build config) and there is no other package named "eglibc". Also, a very recent forum post[1] implies eglibc is not the standard.
Wikipedia says[2] that Arch uses eglibc, but their source is the eglibc website home page and I find no such claim on the entire site. I can't find anything about eglibc on the Arch mailing list, either.
Have I missed something?

- bluefinity 13y agoYeah, you're right, I can't find anything saying Arch is using eglibc either. I did get my information on it from that Wikipedia article, I guess I should have checked the citations.
