Bug#752544: vlc: source package fails to compile

[Sebastian Ramacher]

Control: reassign -1 src:glib2.0 2.40.0-4
Control: retitle -1 glib2.0: build gobject with -Wl,nodelete to prevent unloading
Control: tags -1 = upstream fixed-upstream
Control: affects -1 vlc

Hi glib maintainers,

vlc randomly fails to build during the generation of the plugin cache. Some of
the plugins are linked (indirectly) to gobject. During the generation of the
plugin cache, these plugins are loaded and unloaded again. In some circumstances
this causes gobject to be unloaded at the wrong time and vlc-cache-gen crashes.
Since the plugin cache is generated at build time, this issue makes the build of
vlc fail.

The issue has been fixed in glib with commit
2b178c762fbc0706031e9890ba190233e243a602 [1] and the fix is contained in 2.41.3.
It also got applied to the glib-2-40 branch (commit
3662eb9759fe225d1c214db6927c667a1b733e8a)
Could you please apply the patch to the current version in unstable?

Cheers
