Okay, so it's not a user reported regression, but comes from a build
system.  So I continue to wonder what the value is of trying to fix
it in stable kernels, vs the risk of de-stabilising them, especially
when the fix we have in mainline can't be applied.

I'd suggest waiting until we have proper users reporting a failure
over this.  (Who's a proper user?)
