It seems opendht is just buggy there, as using one of its features
causes compilation error, so I think it is okay to patch the bug.
What's the point of keeping unusable software in the repo anyway?
Devs from Savoir-faire linux use opendht features in Jami right from
master, because they develop both. But I can't do that.
