The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a build-system patch so Bitcoin Core's bundled Qt dependency can compile with the upcoming GCC 16 compiler. It is a backport of an upstream Qt fix that handles a change in how GCC 16 represents certain C++ comparison values internally. There is no indication this fixes a security vulnerability; it is purely a compatibility/build fix.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as routine build maintenance. If reviewing for release, verify the patch applies cleanly and that GCC 16 builds succeed.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant signals present in commit message or diff
