I will have to break it again to get the error msg :-) I'll see if I
find some time later today.

I'll see if I can find some time to do  
./ptxdist clean; ./ptxdist compile pkg_that_uses_glib 
to see what builds and waht doesn't.

Of course that is going to cost a lot of build time, so it might take a
while to get done.

That is good, cause those "configure" stages take for ever :-)
