The SuperH ports are dead, as far as I know, and I'm not happy with a patch that affects every architecture (except s390), isn't upstream, is no longer understood, and doesn't actually seem to affect anything. People have been building the static X server just fine all through the 4.3.0-0pre series without this patch. I think it's best to drop it until its existence can be (re-)justified. -- G.
