Probably, but again the patch has been pushed upstream by someone else 
and I need to contact that person first to see how to handle it.

I can avoid that by defining CCLD_FOR_BUILD in the recipe, but since I 
need to wait for glibc for v2 anyway, I'm not in a rush...

if I have no news, I'll do that for V2
