Aside from this specific change, I think it's a problem that we pull
in external libraries, then apply patches to them that upstream would
probably want, don't tell upstream, and will inevitably have to deal
with conflict when we merge in new versions from upstream.

Maybe we should have some file with contact details for these compat
libraries, and try to resolve issues with upstream if we need to apply
patches like this one?
