Well glib2 uses something weird called mesonbuild. It takes about 10
minutes just to run "configure" phase. Looked at ptree and it keeps
running "tr" command, no idea what it's trying to translate.

            5474  bmake build
              5552  /usr/bin/bash -c set -e;      if test -n "" &&  /opt/pkg/sbin/pkg_info -K /opt/
                5553  /opt/pkg/bin/bmake _MAKE=/opt/pkg/bin/bmake OPSYS=SunOS OS_VERSION=5.11 LOWER_O
                  6794  /usr/bin/bash -c set -e; cd /opt/pkgbuild/objects/devel/glib2/work/glib-2.60.6;
                    6986  /usr/bin/bash -c set -e; cd /opt/pkgbuild/objects/devel/glib2/work/glib-2.60.6;
                      6987  /usr/xpg4/bin/tr -cd \0
                      6988  /usr/xpg4/bin/tr \0 x


Anyway, looked in "meson.build" file

project('glib', 'c', 'cpp',
  version : '2.60.6',
  meson_version : '>= 0.48.0',
  default_options : [
    'buildtype=debugoptimized',
    'warning_level=1',
    'c_std=gnu89'
  ]
)

Changed that go "gnu99" and still get the same build error. So will
look to see what else may be causing it.
