I created now a new branch:
https://gitlab.fechner.net/mfechner/Gitlab/commits/test-grpc-update
this branch includes the grpc update, update for rubygem-grpc and all
patches required to get gitlab-ce compiled again.

Builds are currently running can be seen here:
https://pkg.fechner.net/jail.html?mastername=111amd64-gitlab#top

All the packages for testing can be found by using this pkg address:
https://pkg.fechner.net/packages/111amd64-gitlab/

As I had to patch not only gitlab-ce but also gitaly the risk is very
high, that this has broken something in gitlab-ce.
As I have no idea for what grpc in gitlab-ce is used, it would be really
helpful if I get support to test this patched gitlab to ensure it is
working correctly.
As I do not use any more advanced feature like dev-ops, pipeline, CI,
... in gitlab I cannot test this. As grpc is a remote call lib I fear
that this lib is used for all the stuff in gitlab I do not use and
therefor cannot test.

I use the following vagrant to spin up a testing server in my home network:
https://gitlab.fechner.net/mfechner/Gitlab-vagrant
this includes already all modifications required to get the new version
11.1.x running, you only need to modify the link to the pkg repository
there.

So if anyone is using features in gitlab that uses grpc in background
and is willing to help me testing, we can more quickly get the grpc
update into the ports again.

Thanks a lot.

Gruß,
Matthias
