Description Mike Frysinger 2012-09-11 18:42:18 UTC 
glib currently fails to cross-compile due to a bug in autoconf's AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF macro.  you can find full details here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2012-09/msg00001.html

for glib, it's simple to workaround: call AC_STDC_HEADERS right after AC_SYS_LARGEFILE in configure.ac.

since it'll be a while before we see a new autoconf release with this fix, and then for glib releases to get regenerated using those new versions, can we deploy this workaround in the mean time ?
