If I apply the 5 patches from Fedora's CVE-2016-2857 fix (with our
patch reverted) qemu-native's use during a gobject-introspection build
no longer causes segmentation faults.

I've sent a patch proposing an upgrade to 2.5.1 for krogoth and master,
which includes the 5 patch series mentioned above and several other
fixes.

Regards,

Joshua
