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.
