I don't that will result successful compilation when using systemd,
so I guess this has been only tested with busybox, right?

I had to do this fix in order to make systemd work with v6.9:

https://lists.buildroot.org/pipermail/buildroot/2024-June/755222.html

So I see two issues in total in this patch:

1. It maintains the same build issue as with 6.8.12.
2. Bugs should be a priority over features, right?

Maybe this should combined to a patch set with my patch as first
so that the version update could be landed cleanly?

BR, Jarkko
