Description Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2026-02-02 14:10:25 UTC 
When building nvidia-settings on Rawhide, the build fails with the following error:
 ld -r -z noexecstack --format=binary  background.png -o /builddir/build/BUILD/nvidia-settings-590.48.01-build/nvidia-settings-590.48.01/src/_out/Linux_x86_64/background.png.o
make[1]: Leaving directory '/builddir/build/BUILD/nvidia-settings-590.48.01-build/nvidia-settings-590.48.01/src'
make[1]: *** Deleting file '_out/Linux_x86_64/bnc_cable.png.o'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:391: _out/Linux_x86_64/bnc_cable.png.o] Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Reproducible on any rawhide system (without mock).
