Thank you for the fix.

I know this is an unpopular request, but can't we make this MC rework series 
bisectable ? We're introducing bugs, which is unavoidable given the scope of 
the change, and I'm really worried about how difficult we'll make it to debug 
them if we keep piling even compilation fixes on top.

I can spend a day this week rebasing the patches myself if that could help.
