With these three patches, if you apply the following skeleton patch
(lifted from $gmane/226851 and adjusted minimally to the change
these patches introduce), we can see that the link breakage Felipe
observed in the message:
Felipe Contreras <felipe.contre...@gmail.com> writes in $gmane/226851:

And as I already said, the above is correct. The problem and the
general approach to solve it correctly were identified in the
message.
But what followed was a nonsense, which ended up wastign everybody's
time:

The proposed patch was rejected on the basis that it was organized
the code in a wrong way. And your patch shows how it should be
done.
Thanks for doing it right.
