#23652: Track the packages requiring the gnulib hack for glibc-2.44

-------------------------+-----------------------
 We are putting a big hammer to work around the compatibility issue with
 gnulib and glibc-2.44 into /usr/share/config.site:

 {{{
 ac_cv_func_posix_spawn_file_actions_addchdir=yes
 ac_cv_func_posix_spawn_file_actions_addfchdir=yes
 }}}

 While this is supposed to work around the issue globally, we should record
 the list of packages really requiring this workaround so when gnulib is
 updated and synced downstream we will be able to remove the workaround or
 limit it to only a few remaining affected packages.

 Basically all packages using the posix_spawn_file_actions_{f,}addchdir
 module from gnulib is affected (until one gets updated with a fixed gnulib
 copy).  They can be identified via:

 {{{
 grep -E 'for posix_spawn_file_actions_(f?)addchdir' $(find -name
 config.log)
 }}}

 Let's track the list of the affected packages here.
