15 I would say you are left with two options. You can either file a bug
16 against the third party library and ask them to make the changes (maybe
17 providing patches) or the harder option would be to migrate away from
18 that library. Ideally, convincing the third part library authors to make
19 those changes would be best because it would benefit all of their
20 consumers.
