[Ftp-release] [ANNOUNCE] libbsd 0.8.4 released

[Guillem Jover]

Hi!

This release fixes several portability issues (among others adding
support for musl libc), adds support for RISC-V and TileGX CPUs,
fixes the nlist() implementation and removes its a.out support, adds
a new <sys/time.h> header, fixes several build system issues, adds
many new unit tests, adds many missing man pages and their aliases,
and finally adds a new libbsd(7) man page with an overview of the
library and how to use it.
