In fact we have two fixes. One which involves changes to 21.4 and
thus is not backward compatible to existing installations in the sense
that anyone with an existing installation < 21.4.22 who wants to build
all packages would have to upgrade to 21.4.22. The other involves a
monkey-patch which could be added to the package build process and
used only on those installations that don't support it (it involves
adding a new variable, and thus a boundp test for that variable would
be definitive). The former fix is preferred by Mike but Vin isn't
doing anything about it, and the latter requires monkey-patching,
which has its own set of problems.
Is Vin not doing anything about it because he doesn't have time, or
because he disagrees with that direction?
