Yes, gtk3 needs this too (and patches in this series depend on it). At https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/37259 there are 6 patches, not 5 -- I appear to have accidentally excluded the first patch when sending it to the list, unsure how that happened. It's almost ccompletely copy/paste from gtk4. As far as reporting this upstream goes, I'm somewhat nervous they will suggest you should simply build against what you use and require what you build against. It's not a completely unreasonable suggestion, in fact it's the one I described as option 4 and Gentoo simply cannot use it today since it would require new EAPI. -- Eli Schwartz
