- Update from version 3.7 to 3.8
- Update of rootfile not required

* Noteworthy changes in release 3.8 (2022-09-02) [stable]
** Changes in behavior
The -P option is now based on PCRE2 instead of the older PCRE,
thanks to code contributed by Carlo Arenas.
The egrep and fgrep commands, which have been deprecated since
release 2.5.3 (2007), now warn that they are obsolescent and should
be replaced by grep -E and grep -F.
The confusing GREP_COLOR environment variable is now obsolescent.
Instead of GREP_COLOR='xxx', use GREP_COLORS='mt=xxx'. grep now
warns if GREP_COLOR is used and is not overridden by GREP_COLORS.
Also, grep now treats GREP_COLOR like GREP_COLORS by silently
ignoring it if it attempts to inject ANSI terminal escapes.
Regular expressions with stray backslashes now cause warnings, as
their unspecified behavior can lead to unexpected results.
For example, '\a' and 'a' are not always equivalent
<https://bugs.gnu.org/39678>. Similarly, regular expressions or
subexpressions that start with a repetition operator now also cause
warnings due to their unspecified behavior; for example, *a(+b|{1}c)
now has three reasons to warn. The warnings are intended as a
transition aid; they are likely to be errors in future releases.
Regular expressions like [:space:] are now errors even if
POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, since POSIX now allows the GNU behavior.
** Bug fixes
In locales using UTF-8 encoding, the regular expression '.' no
longer sometimes fails to match Unicode characters U+D400 through
U+D7FF (some Hangul Syllables, and Hangul Jamo Extended-B) and
Unicode characters U+108000 through U+10FFFF (half of Supplemental
Private Use Area plane B).
[bug introduced in grep 3.4]
The -s option no longer suppresses "binary file matches" messages.
[Bug#51860 introduced in grep 3.5]
** Documentation improvements
The manual now covers unspecified behavior in patterns like \x, (+),
and range expressions outside the POSIX locale.

Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.

* Noteworthy changes in release 3.7 (2021-08-14) [stable]
** Changes in behavior
Use of the --unix-byte-offsets (-u) option now evokes a warning.
Since 3.1, this Windows-only option has had no effect.
** Bug fixes
Preprocessing N patterns would take at least O(N^2) time when too many
patterns hashed to too few buckets. This now takes seconds, not days:
: | grep -Ff <(seq 6400000 | tr 0-9 A-J)

Most of these files still used old dates and/or domain names for contact
mail addresses. This is now replaced by an up-to-date copyright line.
Just some housekeeping... :-)

This will allow us to run multiple builds on the same
system at the same time (or at least have them on disk).
