Public bug reported:

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.
