Touch more glibc source files in build-many-glibcs.py.
build-many-glibcs.py currently copies the source tree to avoid issues with parallel builds trying to write into it. This copying can result in occasional spurious build failures from bots, when a "git gc" is in progress that changes .git contents while copying is taking place, and it would also be desirable to avoid the need to copy to save on disk space, I/O and memory used in build-many-glibcs.py builds. In preparation for removing the copying, this patch arranges for build-many-glibcs.py to touch more files on checkout so their timestamps do not result in make attempting to rebuild them. Before actually removing the copying, I intend to do further tests to ensure I haven't missed any other such makefile dependencies. This is of course without prejudice to possibly moving more of these files to being generated in the build directory rather than being checked in at all, where that can be done using build tools already required for the build. For sysdeps files (installed and otherwise) it would be necessary to make sure this does not affect the search ordering, for headers used in the build it would be necessary to ensure they are generated early enough, and for errlist.c there may be dual licensing reasons for keeping it checked in. Tested that a checkout with build-many-glibcs.py does touch the expected files and that a glibcs build for aarch64-linux-gnu succeeds. * scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.fix_glibc_timestamps): Touch additional files.
