Not much to report other than:
- glib2 builds fine on another i386, so I'm playing spot the difference.
- configure is run (and fails) before libtool is replaced by the pkgsrc 
version.- glib configure.in is odd in that part of beauty of libtool 2 is that 
the
  variables are available directly to the configure script without the need
  for it to call libtool, yet configure.in uses LT_OUTPUT to create libtool
  early for it to be called(!)
