I am struggling with this one.

I need to include this in order to remove the comment from line
22 and remove the reference to google::protobuf::RepeatedPtrField
from webrtc/logging/rtc_event_log/rtc_event_log_parser.cc.

But when I try I get this error:

[...]
error: cannot use typeid with -fno-rtti
    T* t = new (AllocateAligned(RTTI_TYPE_ID(T), sizeof(T))) T(arg);
[...]
/third_party/protobuf/src/google/protobuf/arena.h:162:30: note: expanded from
macro 'RTTI_TYPE_ID'

I think you can solve this by depending on //third_party/protobuf:protobuf_lite
in the protobuf_utils GN target (instead of just including the src dir).
That way, you'll get this config:
https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/third_party/protobuf/BUILD.gn?rcl=761f60...
which might solve this error.

Done.
