No, indeed not :/ And the patch was even an upstream fix. Where does
this new patch come from, I don't see it on
http://busybox.net/downloads/fixes-1.24.1/?

While this is an important thing to fix, I don't think it is urgent
enough to release a 2015.11.1 right away. It sounds like we might need a
fix for the host rpath checks as well, so I'll wait a few days to see
what shows up.
