Howdy Janneke!

Probably not, good point!

I can think of two possibilities, then: (1) apply the patch in a phase
rather than via the ‘patches’ field, and (2) arrange so that
‘patch-and-repack’ does not compress the patched code or compresses it
with the bootstrap gzip.

My understanding is that #2 may be doable now thanks to Maxim’s recent
changes.  I’ll take a look!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
