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.

All build times and sizes were also checked and updated as needed.
I've not bothered to write an explanation for --disable-crypt because it
will likely be the default of Glibc-2.38, then we may drop it from the
command lines.
Update the rationale for min-kernel in hostreqs. Add a note in
general.ent about the EOL of current min-kernel. Realign the
backslashes in glibc instructions.
The thread functions are in POSIX.1c, not POSIX.1b.
Both POSIX.1b and POSIX.1c are named "extensions" (plural form). And
POSIX.1b is titled "Real-time" instead of "Realtime".
Please try not to use the "replace" feature of the text editor blindly.
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'.
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).
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).
