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/.

- Update from 1.3.0 (2005) to 2.1.1 (2021)
- Update rootfile
- version 1.3.0 was from 2005. Version 2.1.0 was from 2006. No other updates have been
carried out since 2006 until Feb 2021 when the repository was migrated from CVS
to git. https://github.com/linux-ras/sysfsutils/releases
- Installed iso, that was created from build, into testbed vm system. All menu's opened
and no issues found. Not 100% sure what to look for as I am not totally clear what
the library would be used for or by which programs. Probably needs testing by someone
who lnows what the sysfsutils library is used for.
- Ran find-dependencies on the original library system before build and then on the new
library system after building and in both cases nothing was flagged up. So it looks
like no other programs are linked to the library.
- pcmciautils required one of the sysfsutils include files to be available during the
build. ./configure was modified to allow pcmciautils to find the include file
- Changelog for changes from 2.1.0 to 2.1.1
