Don't emphasis "static library" at all, to prevent anyone from thinking
"I need to use static libraries so I'll keep these .la files". And warn
that .la files are known to break BLFS packages.
This reverts commit 395eb462ba.
Not needed as grep is "patched".
Note that I'm still against "patching" grep. All the complains for the
warnings are from only several people and IMO the complains are not
valid. But as bdubbs has made the decision let's keep it for now and
review after some time...
Update to file-5.43.
Update to linux-5.19.8.
Update to gawk-5.2.0.
Update to meson-0.63.2.
Update to ninja-1.11.1.
Update to bc-6.0.2.
Fix the location of udev rules in eudev.
Remove a warning for egrep and fgrep that
Delete an empty binutils man page.
Expand tabs to 8 spaces like everywhere else in the book.
Explain that shared libraries are already covered by ASLR, PIE expands
the ASLR to cover the exetutables.
In 2022, stack smashing attackings are mostly constructing a sequence of
faked returning addresses to exectute a series of function already
existing in the programs or libraries itself (ret2lib). Returning into
the code injected by the attacker is almost impossible because on
i686 (with a PAE/NX enabled kernel) or x86_64, running injected code
needs W/X mappings and those are very rare these days.
Committing only the commands for now, so that others can test the
build. TODO:
- add command explanations
- add changelog
- comment on failing tests in binutils and gcc
Text change only.
Since 11.0, /lib is a symlink to usr/lib. With libc_cv_slibdir=/usr/lib,
/lib won't be searched by default anymore (if someone mess up the system
by removing /lib symlink and create an real directory there, for example
the initramfs before r10.1-439).
Text change only.
Add tst-arc4random-thread failure recently reported to upstream, remove
namespace related failures as they are UNSUPPORTED now in 2.36.
It works out of box with glibc-2.35. I think this issue is already
fixed at glibc side, by the commit:

regex: copy back from Gnulib
Copy regex-related files back from Gnulib, to fix a problem with
static checking of regex calls noted by Martin Sebor. This merges the
following changes:
* New macro __attribute_nonnull__ in misc/sys/cdefs.h, for use later
when copying other files back from Gnulib.
... ... (unrelated things trimmed)
Presently we let the build system generate static C++ bindings, and
then we remove them. Note that we could also prevent generating
any C++ binding, since nothing in LFS/BLFS use them, but it seems to
me that generating the shared ones is closer to what is done for
other packages.
The c_rehash script, shipped by OpenSSL versions in current LFS trunk
and all previous LFS releases, is vulnerable to CVE-2022-2068. It's
fixed in 3.0.4, but OpenSSL 3.0.4 is completely broken on CPU models with
AVX-512 extension [1]. So we'd like to defer OpenSSL update and wait for
upstream consensus about "would 3.0.5 be released in urgency".
But, the upstream has announced that use of c_rehash is obsolete now [2].
So we can tell people not to use it.

Using readline can improve line editing feature of bc, but it's not
enabled by default.
As readline is already installed before bc, let's pick up this
improvement with no cost.
