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...

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)
