Problem is, this patch only applies to the 4.4.x from 42.3 with a lot of
backported code from newer versions and will break building the modules against
the 4.4.x from 42.2.

So the only way for Oracle to fix this would be to supply an extra package
especially for 42.3 containing that change and I don't know if that is very
likely to happen.
