This seems like an odd entry. How can a package last built for F24
possibly be affected?
Just guessing; Marek has rebuilt all the non-noarch src.rpm for rawhide
and the package build diagnosed the ABI incompatibility. Perhaps the build
normally only fails later than where the ABI issue was spotted.
The instrumented GCC had a new option to compile using the previous
(8.0.1-0.15 and earlier) wrong behavior and compiled everything twice,
comparing dumps on what would be produced between the two.
