#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.
