>How-To-Repeat:

The problem may be because of the literal nature of IRIX' ld, which requires objects and libraries to be specified in the correct sequence...
>Fix:

I quick-and-dirty fix was to remove references to "tests" from two locations in the top-level Makefile in the work/glib-2.14.2/ directory:

from SUBDIRS at around line 255, and from $(mkinstalldirs) of the distdir target around line 639.

Without these, the package built and installed correctly - so I assume that nothing from /tests/ is the the PLIST.

Interestingly, "bmake test" in the top-level directory also succeeds - but potentially this is because the testing utilities weren't built.
