FWIW, including <glib.h> or <glib/gtestutils.h>, as I expected it might 
be, same exact size, here.  In fact, I wasn't sure it had updated at 
first, until I noted the timestamp on it had changed.  So that 
--as-needed in my LDFLAGS appears to be working as advertised. =8^)

The trouble as Dan R noted on the bug but I don't believe here, is that 
while including glib.h will work for both 2.14 and 2.16, it won't work 
/before/ 2.14, as 2.12 used an entirely different arrangement, 
apparently.  So if we did just that, we'd have to up the glib requirement 
to 2.14, which is a shame as previous versions (from 2.4.0 according to 
the Gentoo dependency string) were working fine until now.

So now he's looking at doing something with #if (GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION == 2 
&& GLIB_MINOR_VERSION < 16) type hackery, which is more or less what I 
had expected might be needed, only he actually knows enough about it to 
probably pull it off, while I don't.
