"ancient" as in 2.0.x?  i've been developing with gtk+/glib 2.0.6 on red hat
8.0 since last year.  as time goes by the test suite produces more nastygrams
and skip notices, but it does indeed pass.  if it's broken for you, please let
me know.

please send that output to me offlist, and i'll see if anything makes sense. 
in fact, as i don't have access to a similarly configured box, anything you
could provide for a postmortem would be helpful.

this was the very first actual error -- is the file okay at that point?  (i
ran across a similar issue which was caused by filesystem corruption a few
days ago...)

use GCC?  /me ducks

seriously, no, i haven't seen such an error.  if you'll drop into #gtk-perl
this evening, i am planning to be around, and we can probably debug faster in
irc than in email.
