[bug#51241] [PATCH v2 0/1] gnu: ragel: Fix build of knot on aarch64-linux.

[Simon South]

After corresponding with Ragel's author, here's a patch that applies the
solution implemented upstream[0], backported from Ragel's "ragel-6" branch.
I've tested this on AArch64 and x86-64 and with these changes applied, Knot
builds fine again on both platforms.

On x86-64, I've once again rebuilt the output of "guix refresh
--list-dependent ragel" without issue, aside from ccextractor; on AArch64,
Ragel's immediate dependents[1] all build fine.
