[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] fix static build

[Fabian Grünbichler]

this currently breaks using the static client pointed at hostnames
instead of IPs on some platforms:

https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-backup-client-static-floating-point-exception-core-dumped.167731/#post-779723

so we should probably also backport this (and preceding build fixes) to
bookworm and roll out a fixed package.
