There are several fixes which are done to fix builds with newer
compilers after 0.0.28 was releases in 2015 a long time ago.
Add a patch to fix manpages builds not trying to access network during
build
Add UPSTREAM_CHECK_COMMITS = "1"
Regenerate xmlif from lex files, before configuring the build.
Run lex from sourcedir to avoid emitting absolute source paths via #line
directive into generated c source file which ends up causing
reproducability isssue
