The perl-gtk version in 2.5 really requires with_threads=no in glib2 as
it isn't able to deal with its threads support. In CURRENT the perl-gtk
is a newer one which supports with_threads=no and with_threads=yes
and hence the glib2 has with_threads=yes by default (as more packages
require it). If you really want to mix 2.5 and CURRENT here you have to
pick perl-gtk from CURRENT, too.
