Not urgently, and my rationale was that it might get reverted and dropped
in the near future, like we did for those workarounds for defunct versions
of dash.

Which is why it was clearly marked as a bug and the version it affected.

FWIW there are some people still building git in macOS 10.5 (the last with
powerpc support) that was EOL in 2011.

it), but definitely not needed in master for this release.
