Surely the glib folks discussed this before they moved stuff around, 
right?  I know nothing about their development process, however.  Where's 
their list archive and what dates should be searched, for what strings?  
Maybe they have a nice simple workaround and we're all walking around it 
like that big fenced off hole in the ground you eventually automatically 
ignore without thinking about it?

Anyway, this is the best so far, and with the right options (LDFLAGS 
including --as-needed), it may even be exactly the same size.  I gotta 
check it later, as I use that linker flag by default.
