I don't remember any fallout from the final patch no. My reticence for a
backport was due to
* adding a new target hook
* patching functions to generate PIC sequences.
I'm not sure how much these functions have changed over the year, I suspect not
much and the rest of the patch should be fairly self contained. I would not
expect too much work to backport the change itself by someone else (I am not in
a position to do the work myself), but whether such a change would be
acceptable on a stable branch is up to the relevant maintainer.
