This is a broken release - 'make' fails with these messages:

"
gconvert.c:48:2: error: #error GNU libiconv not in use but included iconv.h is from libiconv
make[4]: *** [gconvert.lo] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/glib-2.12.12/glib'
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/glib-2.12.12/glib'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/glib-2.12.12/glib'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/glib-2.12.12'
make: *** [all] Error 2
"

even though 'configure' is OK.

Each and every release of each and every library is broken by definition
in case 'configure' is OK and 'make' fails.

This didn't happen with 2.12.11.

I am routinely rebuilding packages using AppsFromScratch whenever new releases are
announced, so the problem was discovered during such a rebuild.

  Sergei.
