When run under an environment that inherits an ignored SIGPIPE (hello, annoying buildbots), a syntax-check was producing quite a bit of noise, such as:

prohibit_argmatch_without_use grep: write error grep: write error /bin/sed: couldn't write 25 items to stdout: Broken pipe sed: couldn't write 1 item to stdout: Broken pipe 0.46 prohibit_argmatch_without_use

This has been fixed upstream in gnulib. There are several other portability improvements in our regular submodule update. * .gnulib: Update to latest, in part for quieter syntax-check. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> --- Pushing under the gnulib maintenance rule. * .gnulib d55899f...9d5efe7 (19):

maint.mk: less syntax-check noise when SIGPIPE is ignored nl_langinfo: CODESET on MS-Windows and more items from localeconv Bruno Haible has stepped down as maintainer. mktime: merge #if/#ifdef usage from glibc git-version-gen: improve option descriptions regex: fix memory leak in compiler regex: merge patch from libc acl: port to gcc -Wredundant-decls parse-duration: eliminate 68-year duration limit pthread: don't assume AC_CANONICAL_HOST, port better to Solaris, etc. pthread: define thread-safe macros on some platforms regex: don't be multithreaded if USE_UNLOCKED_IO. gettext: update macros to version 0.19 select,poll: fix console handle check on windows 8 select: fix waiting on anonymous pipes on MS-Windows times: fix to return non constant value on MS-Windows isatty: fix to work on windows 8 maint: fix typo in fdl.texi mountlist: avoid hasmntopt const type warning on solaris
