Has anyone met the recent error in in copy_uint128 () (stdint library)?

I recently updated to Fedora 33 with OCaml 4.11.1 and recreated opam switch (I was on Fedora 32 with OCaml 4.10.1) but met very strange error on any OCaml program that is linked with stdint library:

Presumably, this is due to 128-bit integers not being aligned on 128-bit boundaries, thus causing an illegal memory access.

This might be fixed by

Updating to stdint-0.7.0 fixed the problem, thanks!
