+## V38 2026-03-20 23:00:00
+
+**Sync all Phase 0 build scripts to match Danish mirror tarball versions**
+
+### Changes:
+- Updated `toolchain/scripts/001-binutils-pass1.sh`: VERSION "2.46" → "2.46.0"
+- Updated `toolchain/scripts/021-binutils-pass2.sh`: VERSION "2.46" → "2.46.0"
+- Updated `toolchain/scripts/004-glibc.sh`: Patch name `glibc-2.43-fhs-1.patch` → `glibc-fhs-1.patch`
+- Rewrote `toolchain/scripts/007-ncurses.sh`: Auto-detects version from unversioned `ncurses.tar.gz`
+- Updated `toolchain/scripts/009-coreutils.sh`: VERSION "9.6" → "9.10"
+- Updated `toolchain/scripts/010-diffutils.sh`: VERSION "3.10" → "3.12"
+- Updated `toolchain/scripts/014-grep.sh`: VERSION "3.14" → "3.12"
+- Updated `toolchain/scripts/016-make.sh`: VERSION "4.4.1" → "4.4"
+- Rewrote `toolchain/scripts/019-tar.sh`: Auto-detects version from unversioned `tar-latest.tar.xz`
+- Updated `toolchain/scripts/025-gettext.sh`: VERSION "0.23.1" → "1.0"
+- Rewrote `toolchain/VERSION_MANIFEST.md`: All versions now match ftp.klid.dk mirror
+
+### Plan deviation/changes:
+- ncurses and tar use auto-version-detection since mirror provides unversioned tarballs
+
+### What is missing/needs polish:
+- `sed '6009s/$add_dir//' -i ltmain.sh` in 021-binutils-pass2.sh references a specific line number — may need adjustment for binutils 2.46.0
