    Fix for a corner case infinite loop handling long strings (patch provided by Samanta Navarro)

    Fixes to not ignore allocation failures (patch provided by Samanta Navarro)

    Evolving work from Samanta Navarro, found and fixed a memory leak in cap_iab_get_proc()

    More robust discovery of the name of the dynamic loader of the build target (patch provided by Arnout Vandecappelle)

    Revamped the Go capability comparison API for *cap.Set and *cap.IAB, and added cap.IABGetPID()

    Added libcap cap_iab_compare() and cap_iab_get_pid() APIs.

    Added a Go utility, captree, to display the process (and thread) graph along with the POSIX.1e and IAB capabilities of each PID{TID} tree.

        Extended getpcap to support the --iab command line argument, which outputs a PID's IAB tuple too (if non-default).

    Install *.so files as executable now that they are executable as binaries

        A feature of 2.52 but not extended to install rules at that time.

    Absorbed a lot of wisdom from a number of downstream package workarounds including wisdom from (Zhi Li and Arnout Vandecappelle and unknown others... Bugs 214023#c16, 214085)

        Support make FORCELINKPAM=yes or make FORCELINKPAM=no for those packagers that feel strongly about not letting this be dynamically discovered at build time.

    Fixed a compiler warnings from the GitHub build tester (Bug 214143)
