http://ds-o.com/Patches/lsb.forward_static_call.v3.tar.gz A link to just the patch: http://ds-o.com/Patches/lsb.forward_static_call.v3.patch It would be fantastic to get it reviewed and committed before a 5.3 beta. The parent forwarding patch can also still be looked at here: http://ds-o.com/Patches/index.html - Mike Lively
