AFAIK, this patch is unnecessary once commit
e03b41d47708744669aaa51e781021c3dc380198 in Stefan's repo is merged into
upstream (which, according to the list, you just pulled).
The reason is that $(sort) is unnecessary when passing $^ to the LINK
function ($^ already eliminates repeats, while keeping the order
intact). The patch fixes the QEMU_PROG rule, which was the only one not
using $^.
Thanks,
Lluis
