Description
I'm maintaining the old garnome build system for gnome on some i686 and X86_64 pc's running slackware. I'm using gcc-6.2 (with -O2 -g).
When I run pulseaudio --help (or other options) I get:
mutex-posix.c: Assertion 'r == 95 && inherit_priority' failed at pulsecore/mutex-posix.c:70, function pa_mutex_new().
This happens with version 0.8, 0.9 and the git/master. I'm not sure that this isn't a glib issue since I get similar problems with other components of gnome 3.22 (e.g., evince, metacity, xchat).
The backtrace gives:
Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
