This is occurring with =gnome-extra/gpointing-device-settings-1.5.1.

Was there anything of note in build log ?

Any backtraces ?

Not that I can see. Build log attached. Thanks.

I was hoping for a "-O2 -Wall" build - otherwise _FORTIFY_SOURCE warning don't show up.
Cause if it's not that, debugging might be necessary.

Build log with -Wall

New build log with -Wall attached, although I do not see any _FORTIFY_SOURCE messages. Thanks for your help with this.

Please restest with 1.5.1-r2
