I haven't seen this in any of my test rebuilds of glib2.0 (both Debian
package and upstream git) for #755439, despite hitting some other failures
to build from source. Is there something unusual about the EC2 environment
in which this build was done, perhaps a heavily loaded machine with many
CPUs or doing many other things in parallel?

This should maybe be downgraded to non-RC, since I don't see any sign
that this has happened on the buildds either.
