quoted from #282342:

"LE *must* link statically against
gobject, otherwise the -Bsymbolic would not solve

http://ovmj.org/~mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=787

which actually results in a hard bug in the software (yes, you're 
reading me
correct here, if you link dynamically and not statically the code will 
under
certain circumstances *not* work at all, and static linking is the only 
good
solution)."

Currently, the ole2 plugin is disabled on hppa - should be just a 
workaround and not a permanent solution. The static PIC libglib is still 
needed.
