What kind of patches? We may try to get those included in the Debian packages
for the two libraries if they are not too "excessive".
Also, I was wondering why did you choose libtommath and dynacall, instead of,
say, GMP and FFI? (I'm just curious).
Anyway, I did not hope of that change being made from one day to the other, and
I'm glad you are aware of the problem and you recognize it as something to fix.
