Do I understand correctly that the patch you added is too broad and
affects more targets than needed? If that's the case, I agree with
Ralf that the best course is to revert your patch first, and then
implement something that only affects CentOS.

Scheduled release time is 10 days away (Mar 26). It would be nice
to have this fixed by then. Otherwise, we'll have to delay the release.
Since you're the only one who seems to be able to reproduce, would
you mind working on this?
