It was submitted, back in May 16 2018, https://gerrit.openbmc-project.x
yz/c/openbmc/sdbusplus/+/10629

But merging to sdbusplus requires corporate lawyers to get involved to
for CLA, and a 5 line patch wasn't really worth it.

It was fixed later in another patch:

commit ad7e686b5563a146728aa9477f6e814dc0a3cbd4
Author: Manojkiran Eda <manojkiran.eda@gmail.com>

    Avoid build failure when sdbus++ tool is disabled

It would make more sense to include that patch here or to update to a
sdbusplus version that already includes, if one has been released.
