I notice you've ack-ed and committed this patch, which I'm happy to
see. However, I don't understand why you gave your ack here, when you
did refused to ack (and to explain yourself!) for "x86emul: fix test
harness build for gas 2.36". Why is this note section useful there
but not similarly useful here (or, the other way around, useless)?

(This, as an aside, also makes pretty clear that - unlike the title
of the series suggests - this has nothing to do with gcc 11.)
