I wouldn't quite call it gruesome, but maybe I've got Stockholm syndrome a little bit. I just experienced this with a package I maintain where there was a build failure caused by changes in glibc headers. There's an upstream patch to fix that. The whole mechanism for pulling that patch from upstream git and then adding it as a separate patch and changing the spec file to apply it does seem somewhat Rube Goldbergian.
