I cannot find a change log. But anyway bash_cv_strtold_broken=no is (finally) no longer needed.

The changes to bash are in patches at https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-5.2-patches/

Since the previous version of bash in blfs, 5.2.32, there have been 5 patches, 33 through 37. These are the summaries:

A typo in the autoconf test for strtold causes false negatives for strtold being available and working when compiled with gcc-14.

If we parse a compound assignment during an alias expansion, it's possible to have the current input string popped out from underneath the parse. In this case, we should not restore the input we were using when we began to parse the compound assignment.

There are systems that supply one of select or pselect, but not both.

When readline is accumulating bytes until it reads a complete multibyte character, reading a byte that makes the multibyte character invalid can result in discarding the bytes in the partial character.

Fix the case where text to be completed from the line buffer (quoted) is compared to the common prefix of the possible matches (unquoted) and the quoting makes the former appear to be longer than the latter. Readline assumes the match doesn't add any characters to the word and doesn't display multiple matches.
