Not necessarily, but we agreed to stop supporting/testing GNOME Desktop
ports on 4.X.  This is one such ports.

Yes, but another potential problem with these kind of patches is
accidentally introducing a problem for all users when trying to fix the
build for 4.X users.  The Evo ports are especially problematic since
they declare variables all over the place, but don't want to support GCC
< 3.0.
