Realistically, this seems unlikely to make it in time.

No, they'll be shipping with a broken copy of their C++ standard library, and 
will fail to conform to the Linux Standards Base specifications due to 
deviating from the Itanium C++ ABI. This patch is working around another 
popular implementation's failure to follow the relevant specification, nothing 
more. Please try to appropriately apportion the responsibility here; if your 
distribution opted into a non-standard ABI for their C++ standard library, you 
should point out to them that they made a mistake.
