Maybe LD_POINTER_GUARD wasn't set at my first attempt then (or maybe I hadn't
updated), but if it's a security feature then I'm a bit surprised you can
override it just by setting an environment variable (if it was needed/used for
compilation then that would provide a choice over the level of security).

As a side note to Eli, perhaps we should mention it in the Emacs DEBUG file.
