Update to gcc-14.1.0.
It does no good: normally we have -v for chown so once it no longer has
an effect we can know, but in this case these chown commands will never
have no effect. And a huge amount of output with -v wastes the server
storage and bandwidth (for both the server and the people reading the
build logs).
libcpp is the preprocessor library, but it's a static library which is
only used by GCC itself and not installed.
libcc1 is actually a library for GDB to "compile" expressions, so we can
use fancy expressions in commands, like "print sin(x + 2.0)": the
expression sin(x + 2.0) needs to be "compiled" for evaluation.
Update to xz-5.4.4.
Update to less-643.
Update to meson-1.2.1.
Update to linux-6.4.10.
Update to iana-etc-20230810.
Update to pkgconf-2.0.1.
All build times and sizes were also checked and updated as needed.
Well, the analyzer failures are introduced by literally *my* Glibc
change [1] and I'll sort them out for GCC 14...
And the ASAN failures seem caused by the introduction of
__isoc23_strtol (the libsanitizer does not know to intercept it). I'll
test with LLVM once I reach it in BLFS (LLVM is the upstream of
libsanitizer) and make a bug report.
limits-exprparen.c also fails to me, it needs "ulimit -s 65536" instead
of "ulimit -s 32768" in my build but maybe it's caused by my custom
*FLAGS.

Update udev-lfs tarball to remove obsolete
cdrom rules and references to ISDN devices.
Update to wheel-0.41.0 (Python Module).
Update to tar-1.35.
Update to systemd-254.
Update to meson-1.2.0.
Update to linux-6.4.7.
Update to gcc-13.2.0.
Update to file-5.45.
TODO: HWAsan needs Linux 6.4 (not released yet) and a recent Intel CPU.
So it the kernel and hardware support is available, we may see more
test failures. I'll try it out on my new system...
names of packages. Clarified verbiage in re PIE & ASLR. Improved the
description of SSP, and tightened it up. Clarified the instructions
for running tests concurrently. Modified descriptions of tests that
fail. Patched up punctuation. Spelled "set up" correctly: "setup" is
a noun. The phrasal verb used here is spelled as two words. Use the
word "directives" to describe "#include" and similar preprocessor
instructions. Add periods to some otherwise complete sentences.
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

Now adjusting.xml only serves as a historical reference, and a "snip
library" for gcc.xml. Put all relevant content into gcc.xml directly
and remove adjusting.xml. If someone needs a historical reference, he
can always get adjusting.xml in Git history.

Update to GCC-11.2.0 (#4883)
Update to inetutils-2.1 (#4892)
Update to automake-1.16.4 (#4894)
SHA256 checksum entities for the three packages are added. I think we
can start a transition to SHA256 now.
