Well, upstream has changed quite a bit since version 2.7.1. There is a
new 3.0 release, and the patch no longer applies because they changed
the way they link with internal libs.

However, what they've done seems to also work for us. So I'm trying to
bump nettle now. But that's a different story than fixing the build
failures.

Yann E. MORIN.
