Binary-searching through the extra optimizations enabled by -O2 [1]
led me to the minimal change being: if you modify test_run_seed() to add
__attribute__((optimize("no-tree-pre")))
then the clutter test passes. Without that attribute it fails.
I have no idea why.

Subject: Disable an optimization when building with gcc 9
This appears to break the clutter autopkgtest, but I don't know why.
