+ bootstrap: suppress stderr chatter
+ * build-aux/bootstrap (insert_sorted_if_absent, main program):
+ Omit unnecessary chatter to stderr. The main program chatter
+ was there only inadvertantly.
+
+ bootstrap: .gitignore files created by autopoint, libtool
+ I ran into this problem when bootstrapping the latest diffutils.
+ After './bootstrap', 'git status' reported lots of untracked files
+ m4/codeset.m4, m4/gettext.m4, etc. These files were created by
+ autopoint and do not need to be version-controlled.
+ * build-aux/bootstrap: Put into .gitignore the files that
+ autopoint and libtool create, by keeping track of files that exist
+ after but not before these programs are run.
+ (version_controlled_file): Move up. 2nd arg is now full file
+ name, not base name; this is more convenient. Put CVS at the end,
+ as it's now somewhat deprecated.

+ ignore-value.h: remove unused _GL_ATTRIBUTE_DEPRECATED definition

+ binary-io: Define set_binary_mode function.
+ * lib/binary-io.h (set_binary_mode): New function.
+ (SET_BINARY): Define in terms of set_binary_mode.
+ * modules/binary-io (configure.ac): Require AC_C_INLINE.
+ * tests/test-binary-io.c (main): Accept an argument, and test either
+ set_binary_mode or SET_BINARY depending on the argument.
+ * tests/test-binary-io.sh: Invoke test-binary-io twice, with an
+ argument. Clean up also t-bin-out0.tmp.

+
+ bootstrap: take advantage of POSIX shell features
+
+ The 'bootstrap' script offered by Gnulib script already uses POSIX
+ shell features (like $((...)) arithmetic expansions) that are not
+ supported by legacy Bourne shells like Solaris 10 /bin/sh. This
+ means that bootstrap must already be run using a proper POSIX shell,
+ which will thus provide more features, like ${var#pattern} parameter
+ expansion or inversion of a command exit status with '!'. We can
+ thus use these features to improve the clarity and the performances
+ of the bootstrap script.
+
+ Suggested by Eric Blake.
+
+ * build-aux/bootstrap: Prefer xpg4 parameter expansions over use
+ of sed/expr plus command substitutions, to save some forks. While
+ we are at it, prefer the POSIX $(...) form of command substitution,
+ rather than the legacy form `...` (since the former is visually
+ clearer and interacts better with quoting), and prefer the idiom:
+ "if ! CMD; then ACTION ..."
+ over the idiom:
+ "if CMD; then :; else ACTION ..."
+ which was required by legacy Bourne shells not supporting '!'.

+
+ fsusage: check for GNU/Linux statvfs problem dynamically
+ * lib/fsusage.c [STAT_STATVFS && __linux__ && (__GLIBC__||__UCLIBC__)]:
+ Define STAT_STATFS2_BSIZE too, since in this case the code now
+ checks dynamically whether statvfs is reliable, falling back on
+ Linux-style statfs otherwise.
+ (statvfs_works): New function, for dynamically testing statvfs.
+ (get_fs_usage) [STAT_STATVFS]: Use it.
+ * m4/fsusage.m4 (gl_FILE_SYSTEM_USAGE): Remove static check for
+ statvfs on GNU/Linux hosts, since it's now done dynamically.
