Right. Obsolete. Was commented out in our the fontconfig.spec file
and not applied anymore.

Originally this patch was from my colleague Takashi Iwai (CC:)
his comment was:

iwai> Hi,

iwai> of non-existing directory name.

I remember that we submitted this upstream but it was rejected because
of the use of realpath(). The problem seems to have been solved in a
different way now in fontconfig, fc-cache doesn't crash on non-existing
directories. Therefore the patch was commented out in our .spec file.
