Hi, |

I'd bet on libffi as the culprit. You may try to use the version from |
| 24 |
the hardened overlay (there was one that should patch the issue a while |
| 25 |
ago). I was able to fix gnome on the only box I'm running gnome on right |
| 26 |
now (the issue was more or less the same). |

Note: I use 3.0.12-r1 (which is an old version because an update to the |
| 29 |
stable version broke it again and I haven't had time to upgrade and |
| 30 |
retry). |
