The patch works around the kernel behavior and so no changes are needed there.
To compile a new shred binary for testing:
mkdir shred-test && cd shred-test
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.22.tar.xz
tar -xf coreutils-8.22.tar.xz
cd coreutils-8.22
wget 'http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=patch;h=88545ad0' -O- |
patch -p1
./configure --quiet && make -j $(nproc)
Now the new shred is available in src/shred.
You can run it directly from there or copy to somewhere like /usr/local/bin.
cheers,
Pádraig.
