Description Michael Catanzaro 2020-11-23 15:12:20 PST 
WTFGType is using volatile improperly when defining the get_type() macro, because the code is copied from GLib, which had the same bug. See: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/600#note_877282

Honestly I'm not sure why this is a hard build failure. It causes a -Wincompatible-pointer-types warning. Maybe the compiler people decided to test a build with -Werror=incompatible-pointer-types enabled? Regardless, it's nice to see such problems pop up early, rather than waiting until after GCC 11 hits Fedora next year....
