[oyster <lepto python gmail com>]

By the way, I also tried to build directly from C code
(https://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.42/vala-0.42.1.tar.xz)
but
```
...

c:(.text+0xd2f): undefined reference to `g_type_check_instance_cast'
../codegen/.libs/libvalaccodegen.a(valaccodecontrolflowmodule.o):valaccodecontrolflowmodule.c:(.text+0x15a5):

../codegen/.libs/libvalaccodegen.a(valaccodecontrolflowmodule.o):valaccodecontrolflowmodule.c:(.text+0x231d):
undefined reference to `g_type_register_static'

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
