Bug#746925: glib2.0 FTBFS on alpha: test-suite failure in async-splice-output-stream

[TRACY, ROBERT C CTR USAF AFSPC 90 IOS/DOP]

Back in May 2014, Michael asked:
"Is there a way to run an individual test?  At the moment I just run 'make
check' but it would be much quicker to bisect if I could run an
individual test."

Ditto his concern...  Unlike the buildd systems, my alpha platform is slow
enough that being able to make small modifications to individual tests and
run them would be of significant value in getting the various FTBFS issues
resolved.  Yes, I said "various", as in "multiple-different-but-potentially-
related."

I'm getting a FTBFS on the current (Sept. 2015) glib2.0 source package for sid
on alpha, and while the failures are not identical to those previously reported
(one of mine occurs during the "mimeapps" testing), there are enough
similarities to be a concern.  My system (non-SMP) generates a segfault
during one of the "mimeapps" tests, whereas the buildd system has no
problem with *that* particular test, but fails elsewhere.

Recently, Michael and I have renewed efforts to get glib2.0 built on alpha.
Help from the package maintainers as far as figuring out how to run specific
individual tests standalone would be a *huge* help to us.  Thanks in advance
for any assistance provided.
