Comment (by mojca@…):

 Reply from Perl developers:

 > The problem with backporting is I don't think this is a binary-
 compatible change.  If someone has an XS extension that knows about the
 `Perl___notused` symbol (either in its mangled or unmangled form when
 built with C++), then that extension would have to be rebuilt if we take
 that symbol away.  We don't do that for maintenance releases.  There may
 be a way around that, such as providing the symbol elsewhere for backward
 compatibility purposes only, but it's something that needs further
 consideration and discussion.

 > Please open a ticket at rt.perl.org to make sure this gets the
 discussion it needs.  The easiest way to do that is to just resend your
 mail to `perlbug a perl.org`.  Please use a specific subject line, such as
 "request to backport 'A more C++-friendly dNOOP'" and be sure to include
 the output of `perl -V` in the message.  Also please include verbose
 compiler version info.

 So the second question is: do we need to rebuild anything if we apply this
 patch?

 I also noticed that we are using perl5.16.1 while 5.16.3 is out.
