You can see a more proper version of the same patch by typing:

# cat `portageq portdir`/dev-lang/erlang/files/glibc-2.4-fix.patch

It is applied in erlang-10.2.10 with this addition to the ebuild:

# cat `portageq portdir`/dev-lang/erlang/erlang-10.2.10.ebuild
[...]
src_unpack() {
        [...]
        # Patch for glibc-2.4 first noted in Bug #128254 -- NOTE this is a
        # compile time fix, runtime still requires testing, see
        # http://www.erlang.org/ml-archive/erlang-questions/200601/msg00500.html
        epatch "${FILESDIR}/glibc-2.4-fix.patch"
}
[...]

So just keyword erlang-10.2.10:

# echo ~dev-lang/erlang-10.2.10 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
