I haven't mentioned that downgrading gnutls to 3.7.7-1 avoids the core dump working fine

Can you please test with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnutls-git + https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/merge_requests/1631 -
if that's still crashing please report this back to the gnutls devs the MR1631.

Same problem

installing gnutls-git with no patches (apart adding the same gnutls package flags else the package FTBFS) everything works fine.

After applying the patch from the gnutls 3.7.7-2 package the issue is back again.

Applying the fix from MR1631 the issue is not reproducible anymore.


Please note the patch from the MR differs from the patch applied in the gnutls 3.7.7-2 package:

- return ((_gnutls_x86_cpuid_s[1] & bit_AVX));
-+ return (_gnutls_x86_cpuid_s[1] & bit_AVX);
++ return (_gnutls_x86_cpuid_s[1] & (bit_AVX|bit_MOVBE)) == (bit_AVX|bit_MOVBE);

After downgrade to 3.7.7-1 then rebuild gnutls-git with MR 1631, everything appears to work.

Please try 3.7.7-3 with updated upstream MR patch.
