Thanks! I see there's some discussion about this upstream to make the
soon-to-be-released 5.14.0 build on such systems.

Your patch seems fine for Debian/Ubuntu purposes until a more generic

Dominic, do you have the time to push this in sid soon? I'd do it myself
but I'll be offline most of the upcoming weekend.
