README.Linux: Note RHEL 8.5 works

Drop workaround for RHEL 3, because the report about 8.5 doesn't
mention it, and RHEL 3 is so ancient that there's no reason to think
the bug remains.

-## Very old hints about libattr (2008)
-
-Some versions of Linux (RHEL3 Update 2 for i386 for example) have a
-/usr/lib/libacl.la libtool archive file that lists /lib/libattr.la as a
-dependency.  However, libattr.la does not exist in /lib/libattr.la.  If
-this is the case, the bootstrap will fail with

-libtool: link: `/lib/libattr.la' is not a valid libtool archive

-The solution is to copy /usr/lib/libattr.la to /lib/libattr.la with:
