Title:
  FFe diffutils 3.8

Status in diffutils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  diffutils ftbfs with glibc 2.34 because of gnulib issues around
  SIGSTKSZ no longer being constant. diffutils 3.8 was released with an
  updated gnulib and builds fine with glibc 2.34
  (https://launchpad.net/~mwhudson/+archive/ubuntu/devirt/+packages?field.name_filter=diffutils)
  so I'd prefer to upload that rather than try to cherry pick the (large
  and not completely straightforward) gnulib fixes. The changelog for
  3.8 indicates one obscure incompatible change:

  https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=10031

  but as we're only just past FF, this seems like the best way forward
  to me.
