Well, 373813 is still valid: it is a clarification in the manual that
_AT_LEAST_X_Y symbols can be used to require either lowest or highest
headers version.

So, even if we end up noy needing this for this issue, it is still
valid, no?

But indeed, 373814 is supersedded by this patch from Gary (and I'm happy
of the outcome!) I'll mark the affected patches supserdded in Patchwork.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
