I made a quick test and the failures I spotted from meta-oe likely due to this patch were: re2c libsdl-iomage claws-plugin-gtkhtml2-viewer claws-plugin-rssyl libsdl-tiff libol ode dejagnu memcached rp-pppoe ipsec-tools mtr hplip onig Its probably not a complete list as I have a lot more failures than your world builds but it gives some idea of number and its not a massive list.
