-  update to 6.10:
  * Conversion of all entropy sources to use openssl instead of gcrypt, eliminating the need for the gcrypt library
  * updated nist beacon entropy source to conform to version 2 of the
  * Added rtlsdr radio entropy source
  * Fixed arm host_cpu name, fixing a build break
  * Fixed selection of default pkcs11 engine, based on target arch
  * Moved closing jitter entropy source printouts to be LOG_DEBUG
  * Typo fixes from codespell
  * Fix a build break with power darn entropy sourceaa
  * Improve interlock between main rngd thread, and jitterentropy threads during startup/shutdown to avoid deadlock/unneeded latency
  * Avoid writing to write_wakeup_threshold when no specific threshold is set (allowing for separate services to preform this task without warnings from rngd)
  * Enhance logging to more clearly indicate which entropy source is issuing a given log message
  * Daemonize earlier, thereby avoiding early thread exit, which in turn leads to additional latency on shutdown
  * Allow for immediate thread shutdown in jitter - By using sigsetjmp/siglongjmp, threads can exit, even when blocking in the jitter library
  * Fixed texrels on on rdrand_asm.S for pic compilation
  * allow use of libargp if libc lacks argp parsing
  * explicitly link against -lcrypto, fixing build in pkcs11 entropy source
  * replace pthread_yield with posix compliant sched_yield
  * bias rngd to use faster sources of entropy when available, falling back to slower sources when needed
  * Fix a shutdown delay resulting from a thread exit race
  * Fix a few minor compilation warnings
  * Fix make distcheck make target
  * Minor typo fixes/cleanups
  * Misc typo fixes
  * Fixed build break on ppc
  * Fixed bug in which getaffinity returns error on virt systems for jitterentropy
  * Fixed low watermark sizing for kernel entropy pool
  * Add a test mode, allowing entropy production rates to be measured
  * Added jitter library as an entropy source
  * Added short names to entropy sources (rather than just index numbers), for use in identifying sources to exclude/include/set options on
