Cygwin 1.5 has a broken sleep, and the gnulib tests dragged in
rpl_sleep which then caused a link failure because it wasn't in
libcoreutils.a. We could solve it by using the gnulib sleep module.
However, sleep and usleep may interact poorly with SIGALRM, and they
have less granularity; so it is better to adopt a policy that if we
must sleep, prefer xnanosleep.
* src/sort.c (pipe_fork): Use xnanosleep, to avoid the need for
rpl_sleep on cygwin, and to reduce granularity.
(MAX_FORK_TRIES_COMPRESS, MAX_FORK_TRIES_DECOMPRESS): Increase,
to account for reduction in granularity.
* src/tail.c (tail_file): Use xnanosleep in debug code.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_sleep): New rule.
* cfg.mk (gnu_ftp_host-alpha, gnu_ftp_host-beta gnu_ftp_host-stable):
(gnu_rel_host, url_dir_list): Remove definitions. The defaults,
now provided by maint.mk, are the same.
* gnulib: Update for latest, including those maint.mk additions.
cat, head, ptx, shuf, tac, tail, tee, tr, and uniq used freopen
on stdout, and were potentially vulnerable. dircolors, du, and
tsort only used it on stdin, which is unaffected by freopen_safer,
but this covers all uses for consistency.
* cfg.mk (sc_require_stdio_safer): New rule.
* gl/modules/xfreopen (Depends-on): Add freopen-safer.
* gl/lib/xfreopen.c (includes): Use stdio--.h.
* src/ptx.c (includes): Likewise.
* src/shuf.c (includes): Likewise.
* src/uniq.c (includes): Likewise.
* src/dircolors.c (includes): Likewise.
* src/du.c (includes): Likewise.
* src/tsort.c (includes): Likewise.
Now that we prohibit indentation via TABs, there's no need for
Emacs indent-tabs-mode setting lines, so prohibit those, too.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_emacs__indent_tabs_mode__setting): New rule.
* src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS.
That check fails on systems for which a program like stdbuf is
not built. Instead, move this check to "make syntax-check".
(sc_check-AUTHORS): Rename rule from check-AUTHORS.
* cfg.mk (sc_check-AUTHORS): New rule.

* README: Add stdbuf command to list.
* configure.ac: Only enable on ELF systems with GCC.

VC_LIST, so we can add an exception, if needed.

(pkglib_PROGRAMS): Reference optional shared lib,
(libstdbuf_so_LDADD): Ensure we don't link with non PIC libcoreutils.a.
(libstdbuf_so_LDFLAGS): Add -shared GCC option,
(libstdbuf_so_CFLAGS): Add -fPIC GCC option.
(check-README): Exclude libstbuf.
(check-AUTHORS): ditto.

syntax_check_exceptions for distribution.
* cfg.mk: Add a rule to ensure the syntax_check_exceptions list
stays in sync with the .x-sc_* files in the repository.
* dist-check.mk: New file: coreutils-specific rules extracted
from maint.mk, now that maint.mk has migrated to gnulib.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add dist-check.mk.

Refer to HACKING for full list of dependencies.
Use cvs add's -ko option to inhibit $Id$-style keyword expansion.

(vc-dist): Set XZ_OPT=-9ev for the final "make dist".

Suggestions from Eric Blake.
* src/dd.c (O_FULLBLOCK): Use a more uniform initializer, that makes
it easier to extract all O_ symbol names.
* maint.mk (syntax-check-rules): Also search for sc_ rules in cfg.mk.
(sc_root_tests): Ensure that this rule sets $diff.
* cfg.mk (sc_dd_O_FLAGS): New rule.
