So if a test times out, it will be noted in jhalfs log.
Also remove "-l" so the output will be something like
./nptl/tst-thread-affinity-pthread: Timed out ...
instead of just a puzzling "./nptl/tst-thread-affinity-pthread".
As we've already concluded, overwriting a shared object can crash
running processes using code or data from this shared object. For
example if gdm is crashed, we may leave the system unusable :(.
Glibc tests occansionally fail due to a timeout because:
1. The hardware is slower than the developers expected.
2. Some tests use multiple or even all CPU cores internally, for e.g.
with 8 active CPU cores we may end up running 8 tests (due to -j8)
each of them uses 8 cores in the worst case, resulting a severe
congestion.
I'm almost sure nptl/tst-thread-affinity* are cases of 2.
Let's document how to rule out the timed out tests instead of making the
list of known failures longer and longer.
A Glibc update may contain locale updates, so keep
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive synced.
Other distros are also doing this when Glibc is updated with the package
manager.
Let's change our policy to match other "rolling release" distros and
ease the procedure to fix Glibc security vulnerabilities.
Squashed the commits in xry111/update-glibc branch to keep the history
clean.

The Glibc INSTALL file says:
‘--with-headers=DIRECTORY’
Look for kernel header files in DIRECTORY, not ‘/usr/include’. ...
So --with-headers=/usr/include seems just doing nothing.
Disable building nscd in glibc.
