Hi, David:

Thank you for this patch, but it looks like a very similar patch was
applied upstream against protobuf 3:

    https://github.com/google/protobuf/pull/780

(Upstream is no longer developing the 2.x branch.)

I'm not sure when protobuf 3 is going to hit unstable, but if this bug
is critical for the sparc64 efforts I think we might be able to make
another 2.6.1 upload.
