 Same test failure on 2.0/i386, so not sparc64 specific.
 The tests work if one does
        cd work*/pkg*/check
        make check
 so it's perhaps some buildlink weirdness, but I've tried
 to understand it for an hour new and didn't make any headway.
 Any ideas, Johnny?

 That's a red herring -- pkg-config comes with its own copy of glib,
 to avoid having any dependencies, and the check target runs the tests
 for the included glib too.
