Our derived.el is ancient. Since we handle practically everything
that modes care about (keymaps, syntax tables, font-lock) differently
from GNU, synching is a bear.
Possibly Daiki Ueno's patch (see URL) fixes, which may be OK for 21.4
despite my concerns in general (see my QUERY following up).

I'm not sure if this works at all for 21.4, I only looked at 21.5.
