Appendix C of the GNU C Library Reference Manual clearly says:
'--disable-werror'
By default, the GNU C Library is built with '-Werror'. If you wish
to build without this option (for example, if building with a newer
version of GCC than this version of the GNU C Library was tested
with, so new warnings cause the build with '-Werror' to fail), you
can configure with '--disable-werror'.
Fix make-4.4 bug.
Update to wheel-0.38.4 (Python Module).
Update to texinfo-7.0.
Update to sysvinit-3.05.
Update to shadow-4.13.
Update to sed-4.9.
Update to meson-0.64.0.
Update to linux-6.0.7.
Update to elfutils-0.188.
Update to bc-6.1.1.
We only need a one-line change in upstream fix (because we don't use
"make --shuffle"). Add it as a sed for both Chapter 5 and Chapter 8.
Note that the "minimal" sed would be '/MAEKFLAGS :=/s/r/ -r/'. I
included an additional ')' so it won't modify "-r" again to "- -r".
Tested "make" and "make check" on a x86_64 with -j8 and an arm64 with
-j24.

Note: I had to run glibc in Chapter 8 at -j1 to avoid an apparant race
condition. With a little more investigation I may be able to find a
better solution.

Let's not be too precise (or we'll need to explain the meaning of
"UNSUPPORTED"). IMO "over 5000" is fine (until we get 5500 tests).

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.
I've observed some failures building LFS on my old i3-3217U (at 1.8 GHz
with -j4), but forgot to update the book. Just got reminded by a
lfs-support post.
BLFS no longer contains ConsoleKit, and ConsoleKit can be considered
dead now (the ConsoleKit2 fork has no action in the recent year).
In BLFS systemd (with PAM) or elogind provide a similar functionality.
I can see no reason to mention ConsoleKit in the book now.
With the construct used in save_usrlib, if ld-linux-...dbg already
exists, it is stripped again and a file ld-linux-...dbg.dbg is
created. Prevent this by not listing files ending in "g".
