Comment (by nickm):

 I suggest that we procede with caution if there is a stability risk.  This
 is a regression, but it is not a regression in 0.4.2 but rather in (I
 think) some earlier version.  As such, I believe it might be better to
 target the fix for 0.4.3 if it looks the least bit tricky: autoconf and
 linker changes have a way of seeming to work for everybody until a while
 after the release is actually out.

 Of course, if the fix is simple and obvious, we can go ahead and take it
 now.
