FYI, this build breakage is now upstream as well and triggers easily.

This fix was sent 5+ days ago (with still no reply to it), a day 
after this fix the security tree pull request was sent with this 
known build breakage included, so the bug is still unfixed upstream 
and no fix is in the pipeline AFAICS. Got lost?

Thanks,
