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
The existing tests all use global symbols (but with different
visibility). Local symbols could be treated differently by the
compiler and linker (as was the case on POWER ELFv2, causing
bug 23937), and we did not have test coverage for this.
Tested on x86-64 and POWER ELFv2 little-endian, with and without
--disable-multi-arch. On POWER, the test cases elf/ifuncmain9,
elf/ifuncmain9pic, elf/ifuncmain9pie reproduce bug 23937 with older
binutils.
