Hi, I'd bet on libffi as the culprit. You may try to use the version from the hardened overlay (there was one that should patch the issue a while ago). I was able to fix gnome on the only box I'm running gnome on right 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 stable version broke it again and I haven't had time to upgrade and retry). WKR Hinnerk
