I think it can be safely removed. The patch itself mentions that the upstream
sources have been fixed, so with the update that removed the "patches" field,
this one has become obsolete also. Apparently the patch was required for
building with newer glibc; the fact that it now builds without the patch is
further proof that the patch is not needed.

Thanks for spotting this!
