Package: gnome-photos
Version: 3.21.92-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Dear maintainer,

after upgrading to the Version 3.21.92-1, I always get an error stating
"illegal instruction":

bash$ gnome-photos
Illegal instruction

The relevant assembly instruction is "rdtscp".
I checked this by substituting it by "nop"s:
With a hexeditor I replaced "0F 01 F9" by "90 90 90". As a result I got
the gnome-photos main screen flashing on my screen for a short time. (I
didn't see anything of gnome-photos before.)

I conclude that changing the compiler flags to support older cpus would
fix the problem.

Cheers,
Nils Asmussen
