Well, the patch seems sensible. So maybe we could carry it in Buildroot?

Still, there is a valid point in this reply: do we know of a FLOSS C++

If so, that would be interesting to see how they handle that situation.
And it would be a nice shoe to stick in the door so that patch can enter
the kernel.
