One minor problem I just discovered with the now-released diffutils 3.8, a problem that was caused by my recent Gnulib changes, is that building diffutils on RHEL 8.4 results in diagnostics like the following:

In file included from dirname.c:25:
xalloc.h:133:3: warning: 'malloc (rpl_free)' attribute ignored on functions declared 'inline' [-Wattributes]
  133 |   _GL_ATTRIBUTE_ALLOC_SIZE ((1, 2)) _GL_ATTRIBUTE_RETURNS_NONNULL;
      |   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


These diagnostics are annoying but otherwise harmless. I just now installed a Gnulib patch to fix this, here:
