If packagers for other binary-based distros (e.g., OpenSUSE, Fedora, Cygwin) do not also want a change like this, then it seems sane enough to keep it a private patch. On the other hand, if there is interest, I would be happy to provide a ./configure option for affected distros to use to avoid the version checks in a non-invasive way.
