I'm having trouble getting this new patch to apply.

Apply the first one, replace all object_entry_extra with
object_stat, replace all objects_extra with obj_stat and amend the
first one.  Then apply this one.

I got this to work and had a good experience but got this from an arm user:

I will wait for the "official" patch and ask if my friend can compile with -g.
