Hm, seems this patch only fixes the build of glib. With this patch
applied, at-spi2-core fails like this:

------
starting phase `check'
process 4420: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read 
machine uuid: Failed to open "/etc/machine-id": No such file or directory
See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.

And, it seems like other packages will have similar problems:
