That could be the following change in the glib library:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2013-February/msg07050.html

Short summary:

The change hides some API that should never have been exposed on 64 bit
platforms, but was by accident. Applications are expected to use
g_get_home_dir in their code, which might be linked to
g_get_home_dir_utf8 via #defines depending on the platform (afaik this
happens for 32 bit windows platforms).

Someone should recompile the third-party ufraw plug-in with a recent glib.
