Good news, thanks!

The file changed a lot on master, and the patch will not apply and
should not be needed there. I did not check, but I think it is already
not needed for gcc@12 any more. So we should probably check for the
major version being equal to 11.

It should be easy to check that it does not cause any rebuilds on the
other architectures, and we cannot break powerpc more than it already
is, so feel free to push something along these lines to core-updates.
