This is a totally different subject.  This patch is for a build error
on OSF1/DU/Tru64.  Both PRs you mention are about TOC problems on
AIX.

I never thought such a simple patch would take so long to get in (my

long while).  Anyway, when a patch is ready, I see little value in
creating a PR.  To me, it feels like pure overhead.  If you have a
different opinion, please enlighten me :-)
