0005-aclocal-declare-function-prototypes-do-not-use-in-fu.patch aclocal: declare function prototypes, do not use '&' in function calls

This change will also fix automake bug#11543 (from a report by Matt
Burgess).

* aclocal.in: Declare prototypes for almost all functions early, before
any actual function definition (but omit the prototype for the dynamically
generated '&search' function). Add prototypes to any function definition.
Remove '&' from function invocations (i.e., simply use "func(ARGS..)"
instead of "&func(ARGS...)").
* THANKS: Update.

0006-install-sh-avoid-low-risk-race-in-tmp.patch install-sh: avoid (low risk) race in /tmp
Backport of Pavel Raiskup's patch to fix install-sh race in /tmp

Ensure that nobody can cross privilege boundaries by pre-creating
symlink on '$tmpdir' path.

Just testing 'mkdir -p' by creating '/tmp/ins$RANDOM-$$/d' is not
safe because '/tmp' directory is usually world-writeable and
'/tmp/ins$RANDOM-$$' content could be pretty easily guessed by
attacker (at least for shells where $RANDOM is not supported).
So, as the first step, create the '/tmp/ins$RANDOM-$$' without -p.
This step would fail early if somebody wanted catch us.

Note that systems that implement (and have enabled)
fs.protected_symlinks kernel feature are not affected even without
this commit.

* lib/install-sh: Implement safer 'mkdir -p' test by running
'$mkdirprog $mkdir_mode "$tmpdir"' first.
