Test failures with Glib 1.290 on *BSD

[Brian Manning <cpan xaoc org>]

Glib is failing in cpantesters on a few *BSDs now.

I fired up a VM and poked around.  The Perl in OpenBSD 5.2 is
non-threaded, Glib segfaults when 'make' is run, right when Perl is
invoked the build the docs. The error is similar to this:

bash-4.2# perl -I blib/lib -I blib/arch -e "use Glib;"
perl:/usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.3200.0: undefined symbol 'pthread_mutex_init'
lazy binding failed!
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Backtracing Perl in gdb:
 gdb perl perl.core
(gdb) bt
#0  0x0a716530 in _dl_bind () from /usr/libexec/ld.so
#1  0x0a712ba7 in _dl_bind_start () from /usr/libexec/ld.so
#2  0x89f9e8a0 in ?? ()
#3  0x00001b30 in ?? ()
#4  0x2d500033 in ?? ()
#5  0x25df0033 in ?? () from /usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.3200.0
#6  0x00000000 in ?? ()

If I run:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpthread.so make
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpthread.so perl -I blib/lib -I blib/arch -e "use Glib;"

It's happy.

One other thing, when running 'perl Makefile.PL', I get:

# perl Makefile.PL
Including generated API documentation...
 ***
 *** configuring Glib to build without thread safety
 ***
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: '-pthread'
Writing Makefile for Glib
Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json

I want to say '-pthread' is coming from glib-2.0.pc.  I'm not sure
what to do about it however.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Brian
