Hello Peter

[having now setup a Fedora chroot ;-) ... ]
afaict the different behavior is caused by

https://salsa.debian.org/glibc-team/glibc/-/blob/sid/debian/patches/any/local-asserth-decls.diff

i.e. on Debian assert.h is included once in a imagemagick namespace
while everywhere else it is also included a second time outside the
namespace. So *afaict* this argument ...

... only holds partially.
