commit 1e5476815fd7f98b888e01a0f9522b63085f96c9 upstream.
This one is also needed in older stable branches, atleast down to 4.4 where we (Mageia) got a note about broken fglrx build with 4.4.110.
Ugh, ok, thanks for the report, I'll backport this. I didn't think it was going to be needed given that some of the prerequsite patches were not in 4.4 :(
