Please bump to 1.42.7 soon. There are a couple of important bugfixes in regard to resize2fs. Excerpt from the changelog:

Fix resize2fs so that it can handle off-line resizes of file systems with the flex_bg feature but without a resize_inode (or if we run out of reserved gdt blocks). This also fixes a problem where if the user creates a filesystem with a restricted number of reserved gdt blocks, an off-line resize which grows the file system could potentially result in file system corruption.

Fix a resize2fs bug which could cause it to corrupt bigalloc file systems when doing an off-line resize.

Fixed 32-bit overflow bugs which could cause resize2fs to fail and possibly corrupt the file system while resizing 64-bit file systems.

bumping it in an local overlay temporarily seems to work (it compiled fine for me)

to prevent something similar:

Not just similar, the link you posted is about a bug that was fixed in 1.42.7.

What's keeping this bug on hold?
