If nobody else has an issue with the break (given it's for such a
limited usecase and they're old binaries), I can live with that. I don't
intend on dying on the hill at all.

But it's not like we don't go out of our way for other cases (old libio; not
that I think we get that perfectly, we had a report of that being broken
but the user never gave me the binaries needed).

I was still hoping for Wilco to reply.
