It seems we both misinterpreted the diff I had sent originally, as that patch 
has not actually been removed, but rather its line was changed (it was moved 
upwards). So good news, no need for changes or further investigation!

I added a comment explaining the change! I hope it is enough.

Apparently M4 has already been updated in core-updates by now! So that all of 
that has already been resolved.

Thanks for the encouragement! However, since glibc 2.36 releases a few weeks 
from now, do you feel like it would make sense to wait until then to update it? 
I suppose it could always be updated again later, but I don’t know if that’s 
ideal.

Also, I could not figure out how to use ‘git prepare-patch’ or ‘git send-email’ 
properly, so I hope a ‘git diff’ attachment is enough.
