The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds four build-compatibility patches to the Qt source code that Bitcoin Core downloads and compiles. The patches fix C++ template/header ordering problems that cause errors or warnings when building with the upcoming GCC 16 compiler. These are compile-time hygiene fixes, not security bug fixes, and they do not change how Bitcoin Core behaves at runtime.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal build-system maintenance commit. Reviewers may verify the upstream Qt commit hashes match the backported patches.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant code changes in Bitcoin Core itself

02

Patches address compiler warnings/errors, not memory safety, logic bugs, or cryptographic issues

03

Upstream Qt commits are build-compatibility backports for GCC 16

04

No mention of CVE, vulnerability, exploit, or security impact in commit message or diff
