I mean, the lines in the diff start with "-". "Let's fix that" here
means "let's build normally and see what falls out".

xserver still passes make check when built without it. Well, the meson
build does anyway, I haven't gotten around to trying it with the
autotools build yet, nor adding -Werror=strict-aliasing and rebuilding
the world, but that would obviously be prerequisite for releasing a
version of util-macros with this change in it.
