That being said, glib1 needs some patching to even build with more modern compilers than GCC 3.2 or something like that… The OpenBSD people have written, or, wanted to write, a pkg-config replacement. I think it wasn’t really portable (but would suffice for bootstrapping purposes in Debian), and it didn’t really take off, unless something changed since we (mostly Benny, my co-developer on the MirBSD side, since I try to stay off GNOME/FLOS as much as possible) last looked at it.
