> Backporting this patch to 18.11 started causing the following build failure with older gcc versions on RHEL and CentOS with make:

It compiled locally for me on F31 and F32, but later I saw multiple
build failures like this on OBS even for F31 and F32 with newer gcc. I
looked last Friday and the backport looked ok and it wasn't obvious to
me what the issue is.

I'm sure with time and/or the right eyes it could be fixed but as it is
just to remove a few unused make files, I don't think it's worth the
effort. Unless someone thinks differently, I will revert the patch in
18.11 branch by tomorrow.

thanks,
Kevin.
