It's probably new in some gcc 3.x or 4.x or something.  I remember the
first few having only partial effect without a new enough linker too.
Might be easier to let glib's configure work it out.

Is there a chance of xsubpp generating some of the extra?  I imagine the
benefit could apply to everybody's xs.
