Re: cross compiling and ld auto-import errors

[Bethany Seeger <seeger prosensing com>]

Never mind, I solved it.  There were a few g_mutex_lock/unlock calls in
the code and that seemed to be the problem. I replaced them with
gdk_threads_enter() and gdk_threads_leave() (after ensuring that
g_threads_init() and gdk_threads_init() were both called) and the linker
was much happier.
