And how having applied your patch locally and tested, please do look
into fixing
FAIL: bootstrap
FAIL: bootstrap with strip
FAIL: bootstrap with -Wl,--traditional-format
FAIL: bootstrap with -Wl,--no-keep-memory
FAIL: bootstrap with -Wl,--relax
FAIL: bootstrap with -Wl,--max-cache-size=-1
seen with #define HAVE_JANSSON 1

The errors are of course all due to undefined references to libjansson
symbols.
