Backporting fix for protobuf and gazebo (at least)

[hmaarrfk]

Comment:

Could we backport:
protocolbuffers/protobuf@bb4718c

it seems to be affecting tensorflow conda-forge/tensorflow-feedstock#371
and gazebo: conda-forge/gazebo-feedstock#201

Hm, seems this patch hasn't been backported to the 25.x line (though 26.x already has a RC out).

If it's urgent, we'll have to create a branch for 4.25.1. Otherwise, I was planning to migrate grpc 1.61 & abseil 20240108 & protobuf 4.25.2 soon (which means we could add the patch on top of main here)

tensorflow cant be built without it.

happy to skip one combo of libabseil

Same for gazebo, thanks!

The best of both worlds would to back port before you merge 4.25.2.

Happy to make the PR

Nevermind, I misremembered that I hadn't merged #202 yet. So let's go with #207 and then I'll rebase #202
