Here is the feedback: glibc isn't the culprit, it's wpa_supplicant 2.5.73 (and
also 74) which was proposed by the online update at the same time as the glibc
update (wpa_supplicant 2.5.x is in the directory
repositories/hardware/openSUSE_13.1h I inluded in my YaST configuration).

Reverting to wpa_supplicant 2.0 as provided by the openSuSE release 13.1 - the
status before the unfortunate online update - solved the problem!
