It would be nice to just pull in 7.2 (or just the latest release)…  seems like that should be easier to maintain to me.

I’d like to punt the approval to a libboehm person, though, not sure we have any.  Just checked we don’t have an official maintainer listed.  :-(  Do we have anybody that wants to review the patch or should I?  Though I would prefer a new import of a newer library to fix the issue, I’m tempted to just approve the patch.  Kinda don’t want to as any deviation makes importing a new library annoying.  What do others think?
