I think this error is caused by gcc-5.4.0. gcc-6 should be fine. 17.0 profiles do mask <gcc-6.

Is use of gcc-5.4.0 intentional?

(In reply to Sergei Trofimovich from comment #8)
for 1 image I reactivated it but plan to do it on a small fraction of images (maybe 10% ?)

Closing as obsolete, presuming GCC-6+ is fine.
