Troubleshooting a Gentoo build failure of next has me pretty convinced this topic is in there already. Junio should probably check my math, but I think that means we want to see fixes on top of that base now (unless we are reverting this topic from next and queuing a new version?).

(The failure is a Gentoo-ism; we carry a patch that stops applying with this series. Not anything this project needs to worry about.)
