OK, so that was actually a lot easier than I thought.  Looks
like the two patches in question were introduced in r395799
to make LibreOffice build on systems with pre-C++-11 compilers
(specifically, FreeBSD 9.x).  As 9.x hasn't been officially
supported in over two years and the base C++ on 11.2 uses
C++-14, can I suggest that we just drop these patches rather
than trying to carry them forward every time LibreOffice gets
updated?
