Since the previous patch is known to break the build on older compilers, I think
it would be better to merge this patch into the previous to prevent the break
from occurring in the first place. That will help with any future git-bisects
that people run.

If there is no objection, and no other issues appear requiring a new rev of
this patchset, I'll merge patches 21 and 22 on apply.
