AFAICT this patch never made it into GSL, presumably because it is a diff for the wrong file. The constants headers are generated from const.el, which utilizes alc-units-update.el to override emacs' calc.el predefined constants.
Therefore, someone needs to create a patch for calc-units-update.el, i.e., as the following: (The new value is form the old cached message, not directly from CODATA.)
