Thanks for the patches!

Yes, the build errors had been a concern for me as well; determining which
sections were protected by correct math and which weren't was going to
take some time, and this is quite helpful.

I've created a 4.3.31 branch for similar concerns and many of these are
just as applicable there. There's also a corruption bug on some loads that
is crashing on F28 (and F29), so that release will probably just be build
fixes for the stable tree.
