Current version is not only outdated, it doesn't build anymore.

The following changes are needed to build version 0.16.5:

prepare() {
  cd "LIEF-$pkgver"
  patch -p1 <../fix-missing-headers.patch
  cd "api/python"
  sed -i 's/==.*//' build-requirements.txt
}

The patch itself is as follows:

I'm failing to build this with:

Ended up being a mismatched version for pydantic-core - I manually version locked it via pip and the package built successfully :< - there might be a better way.

    0.15.1, drop external mbedtls in favor of (unfortunately old) bundled dep, due to breakage introduced in 3.6.0[1]
