It would be very nice to have this fixed, since glib2.0 is a key piece
of the system, with basic packages including dbus and systemd depending
on it.

So having this package cross-building without problems would help
enormously to (re)bootstrap.

Is there anything that we can do to help to move this issue forward?


Cheers.
