    This is a little off topic anyway (probably a question for the
linker people...), I'll bet the only way to get it to work is

A.) newlibrary must get compiled against the `libglib-2.2.a` file
    staticly.

B.) monolithic_gui must use a strict api provided by newlibrary
    (i.e. g_object_ref() would have to be chained to the newlibrary_api like:
     newlibrary_object_ref() )

    I think its alot safer if newlibrary has to be written to work with
both versions of glib so that when monolithic_gui gets ported... newlibrary
will already work.

Cheers,
