Hi,

The syntax-check that Simon Josefsson added to Gnulib last week
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2024-09/msg00010.html
(whose purpose is to implement the recommendation to use an URL
instead of a postal address of the FSF, see
https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices-for-Code.html )
failed in the diffutils CI:

man/help2man:19:# Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.
maint.mk: use license URLs instead of FSF postal address
make[3]: *** [maint.mk:1053: sc_fsf_postal] Error 1

Thank you. I've just pushed a fix for that.
When I locally updated to the latest gnulib, I noted a new
"test-pthread-once2" test failure.
Here's the resulting log:

Oh! That was a false alert.
I've just tried to reproduce in a clean checkout, and there, all tests pass.
I also noticed that I mistakenly included the gnulib update-to-latest
in that help2man patch.

I confirm that the GitHub and GitLab CIs now succeed.

This would be quite worrisome, on a glibc system. Glad it was a false alarm.
