Broken with poppler-0.71.0, the patch I uploaded for earlier poppler
did not solve it.

Gentoo have a blocking ticket for poppler-0.71.0 because of
cups-filters and libreoffice.

Looking at fedora, despite poppler-0.71.0 having a CVE fix they are
using 0.57.0 with a lot of patches.

For cups filters, upstream
https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues/69
(closed as fixed)
https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues/74
(please reopen).

Hmm, when that #69 was closed there was a 1.21.4 release. ...
No, still broken, gTrue not defined in this scope.

But then I got lucky - Arch patched cups filters-1.21.3 for
poppler-0.71.0 at the beginning of this month.  With that patch,
1.21.4 builds.  No idea if it works, can't print for other reasons.

Summary: I *really* hate being even further on the bleeding edge
than fedora, and I'm totally pissed off by the recurrent breakage
from poppler.
