Heh, I could not sleep, so took another look! :)

The problem was actually caused by the 'ps/odb-generic-object-name-handling' branch and commit 936c2bfecb ("odb: introduce

`struct odb_for_each_object_options`", 2026-03-19). In particular, that commit changes the type of the last parameter of the

odb_source_loose_for_each_object() function from 'unsigned' to 'const struct odb_for_each_object_options *', without

changing one call site from '0' to 'NULL'.

OK, I can go to bed now!

Thanks.

ATB,
