+       * m4/mknod.m4 (gl_FUNC_MKNOD): Make it harder to run configure as
+       root, since that is just asking for problems.
+       Suggested by Bruno Haible, based on a report by Rainer Tammer.

+
+       memxfrm: Speed up.
+       * lib/memxfrm.c (memxfrm): Allocate enough memory ahead of time, so
+       that usually only one call to strxfrm is necessary for each string
+       part.
+       Reported by Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>.

        * doc/posix-headers/limits.texi,
        * doc/posix-functions/malloc.texi,
        * doc/posix-functions/strsignal.texi: missing @item.
        * doc/ld-version-script.texi: spurious leading i.
+       * doc/regex.texi (Interval Operators): no commas inside @var.
