I don't see why that would need changing. For one, the commit message for the 
first patch describes exactly what is wrong and also the reason you can't 
reproduce it by default (which I also mentioned in the ticket). I believe the 
second patch's reproducibility is limited to more recent gcc (probably only 9.x 
series), it was reproduced by me, the other person in the ticket, as well as 
the Fedora project (see http://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=341163).
