I do not have a systemd system to test this on, but I assume just some file got (re-)moved or renamed ?

It seems that the patch was finally applied to 3.4... at least on my setup, 3.4.1 looks to finally compile ok. The problem is that it still looks to have bug 854156 and a bogus handling of tmpfiles.d. But taking into account that current stable is broken for a long time with bug 784488, maybe trying to got for that newer version would still be feasible :/
