Glib2 is used by GDK, GTK+ and many applications. You should install Glib
because it is hoped that many applications that use it will be ported to
MiNT.
This package contains the library needed to run programs statically
linked with the glib2 libraries.

2 test programs (out of 30) currently fail with this build:
mainloop-test fails in glib2 due to the pthread implemetation we are
using, which is pth. This is supposedly due to the fact that pth is
cooperative library only, and glib2 wants a pre-emptive thread
implemetation.
strtod-test looks like it fails due to the size of the integers being
processed (just a wild guess). Could also be a problem with Glib2 using it's
own 'trio' support instead of native support. More research needed.
