I marked it as "Forwarded: not-needed" (which is not well named, but looked the most suitable DEP3 header) because the patch was not in a state to be forwarded upstream as is. Of course, something should be done upstream... and looking at the git log, it seems it has been (new --disable-execinfo configure option). But for some reason, Mehdi reverted the change that removed the patch and enabled --disable-execinfo (I guess because it didn't work well). Do you want to investigate this before I upload?
