I don't yet know if there is such a patch.  I can imagine a procedure
for trying to find it: first git bisect to find the oldest libgc source
for which Guile builds and passes make check, then, either automatically
or by hand, try to identify the precise commits, up to that point, that
are what Guile needs...  But I think this would be difficult and
time-consuming.  Let's wait for a while first to see if the 7.2 release
materialises!
