d6346a7e9b Rectify a redundancy/explain how to say tcl. Use correct spelling for
the Binutils package. Patch up an ungrammatical sentence (the plural
subject "instructions" requires pural verbs).

cc197d00ce Corrected a grammatical error: the subordinate clause "that offers ..."
modifies the plural noun "libraries"; it must use a plural verb.
Clarified how many "configure" options Readline uses. Tightened the
prose, and used the definite article in lieu of the indefinite article,
because only one readline.pc file can possibly be the "correct" one.

chapter08: reword description of compiler optimizations
We don't recommend customizing optimizations, but we use optimizations
provided by package default or release build mode.

Reword the paragraph so the people won't be puzzled once they see
"--enable-optimizations" in Python, or "--buildtype=release" (to prevent
unoptimized build) in BLFS meson commands.

glibc: Decapitalize nsswitch.conf
In UNIX file names are case-sensitive.  You cannot capitialize it even if

glibc: it should be --disable-werror, not --disable-Werror
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'.

27601131e4 Correctd the spelling of "Werror" -- it's "-Werror" in GCC, but
it's "--disable-error" in Glibc. Thanks to Thomas Trepl for spotting
my mistake.

systemd: fix and simply the command to disable systemd-sysupdate
"systemd disable" seems a typo...

And we don't need the ".timer" suffix because these .service units are
tied to the .timer units.

glibc: fix parallel build issue with make-4.4
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.

better solution.

glibc: update total test count
I have:

      2 FAIL
   5092 PASS
     67 UNSUPPORTED
     16 XFAIL
      4 XPASS

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).

Revert "bash: document egrep warnings in tests"
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...
