The address different problems.  This patch addresses a build issue with 
gcc in Ubuntu 20.04, the other patch is related to the new trace library 
that uses boolean values from stdbool.h (or the use of the --std=c11 
build option) that causes a build error on POWER systems because of 
altivec definitions.
