I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
No functional change; the previous path worked as well, but it
re-added the obsolete sysdeps/generic/bits directory, which was
removed (for the first time) in commit
c72565e5f1.
Fixes commit e47d82c99a ("Provide
<bits/unistd_ext.h> as a sysdeps header exclusively").
