+This fixes a c23 issue in the rapidjson library:
+
+     error: assignment of read-only member 'rapidjson::GenericStringRef::length'
+
+This was fixed upstream in 2016 and this patch combines two commit from PR
+https://github.com/Tencent/rapidjson/pull/719
+We are using OpenBuildService as the tarball source and it bundles libraries that old.
