Didn't I already report this ?

I thought that was a 4.9 issue. Let me look into this later today,
thanks for the report...

Hm, yeah, looks to be the same issue that 4.9 had. I resolve that by
ripping out the whole series, which I don't want to do here. Let me see
if I can resolve it simpler...


Apply 8ee912dab95f ("alpha: fix build failures") and fix conflict by picking
the new include files. I am currently rebuilding with that applied to ensure
that it breaks nothing else.

Now added, and pushed out, let me know how that goes.


Are you sure that you pushed it into the git repository ?
Turns out my builders didn't pick it up, not even when I tried manually.
