Looks like it's bug in gcc 11.1.1. I've rebuilt this module with gcc 10 
(gcc-10 (SUSE Linux) 10.3.1 20210707 [revision 
048117e16c77f82598fca9af585500572d46ad73]) and build fails with error 
described above


My default gcc is

gcc (SUSE Linux) 11.1.1 20210721 [revision 
076930b9690ac3564638636f6b13bbb6bc608aea]


Any idea? :)
