+From: Antonio Larrosa <alarrosa@suse.com>
+Subject: Work around what seems to be a gcc bug only happening in ppc64/ppc64le
+
+When building code like:
+constexpr Duration defaultMinFrameDuration = 1.0s / 30.0;
+or
+constexpr Duration controllerMinFrameDuration = 1.0s / 60.0;
+
+gcc 11.1.1 is giving this error:
+

+
+This change works around it to let it build fine.
