I am using Fedora 34. I upgraded just to test this bug and it seems stable
except that GNOME Shell extensions need an upgrade. However I haven't tried
building all of QEMU, only the test case.

Yeah that's at least plausible.

Another workaround may be to avoid compiling exec-vary.c with -flto.  I'm

You would have to define a static library.

I have filed a gcc bug report:

Good point, I can give it a shot too just to see how rusty I am... That
would be the best outcome, though we would have to check LLVM as well. If
const doesn't work it would indeed be prudent to include Gavin's configure
check.
