Hi,

I have seen the same recently in building the `gnuradio` package for
conda-forge. It seems to be an upstream bug:
https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/issues/5989

For now I have also fallen back to building with pybind11 3.0.1 and hope
the pybind11 developers will address it in the next release.

Cheers,
Ryan
