Description

Both the fix in https://github.com/aws/aws-lc/pull/2042 and https://github.com/aws/aws-lc/pull/2455 are required to get `efs-utils` on a modern build environment.

Since `efs-utils` still depends on an old version of `aws-lc`, both these patches have to be backported manually which is quite a nuisance due to the deeply nested directory trees and the need for patching the cargo checksums.

Is there any chance that the `aws-lc` dependency can be updated to a version that contains these two fixes?

Research direction

Locate the aws-lc dependency, its nested vendored or patched directories, and the Cargo checksum data. Compare the available dependency version with aws/aws-lc pull requests 2042 and 2455, then verify that a modern build of efs-utils works without manual backports; done means both fixes are included through the dependency update.
