I don't think it's openSUSE specific.  It's likely the guard put by
either gcc or glibc.
FWIW, we pass the default optimization flags like:
  CFLAGS=-fmessage-length=0 -grecord-gcc-switches -O2 -Wall \
    -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector -funwind-tables \
    -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -g -fPIE

The problem was reported from both gcc-4.8 and gcc-5.x systems, so the
gcc version is likely irrelevant.

No, there is no patches apparently relevant with this.  Actually there are
three patches, one is to check an additional environment check in
start-pulseaudio-x11, another is to suppress an error log at
sockaddr_prepare(), and the last is a fix in memset() size in
echo-cancel/adrian-aec.c.  But all these should be safe.

All sources, patches, build log and binaries are found in OBS, e.g. at
  https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/multimedia:libs/pulseaudio


thanks,

Takashi
