I think NEWS entry usually reference to glibc with an article ('The glibc').
The rest sounds ok, although I am not a native english speaker.

glibc is a proper name, and proper names don't come with articles.  You
can write "the GNU C library", but not "the glibc".

Which would be the best option for the NEWS entry, just 'glibc' or a
more specific 'The GNU C library'?  I don't have a strong opinion here.

“The GNU C library” at the start of a sentence, otherwise glibc is
also okay.  In this case, you could use “The dynamic linker” or “The
glibc dynamic linker”.

Javier, are you ok with:

  The dynamic linker no longer loads shared objects from the "tls" 
  subdirectories on the library search path or the subdirectory 
  that corresponds to the AT_PLATFORM system name, or employs the 
  legacy AT_HWCAP search mechanism, which was deprecated in version 
  2.33.

If so I can wrap-up the patches and push upstream for you.

Sure, I am fine with whatever you think is best.

Thank you.
