+Subject: [PATCH] glib_stubs: avoid GLib g_free macro redefinition error
+
+glib 2.78+ defines g_free as an object-size checking macro.
+open-vm-tools overrides g_free(), leading to preprocessor expansion
+inside the function signature and breaking the build.
+
+Undefine the macro before defining the stub.

+Subject: [PATCH] fix initialization discards 'const' qualifier from pointer
+ target type
+
+Since glibc-2.43:
+
+For ISO C23, the functions bsearch, memchr, strchr, strpbrk, strrchr,
+strstr, wcschr, wcspbrk, wcsrchr, wcsstr and wmemchr that return
+pointers into their input arrays now have definitions as macros that
+return a pointer to a const-qualified type when the input argument is
+a pointer to a const-qualified type.
