-Subject: [PATCH] Fix test failing on new GLib versions.
-
-This test fails on newer GLib version, because GLib exports a new public marshaller.
-The additional symbol making the test fail is:
-g_cclosure_marshal_BOOLEAN__BOXED_BOXED
-
-The fix makes the test ignore non-gtk related abi.
-This ensures if future marshallers are added to glib those will not pose a problem.
-
-The fix also ensures that the test still checks the gtk abi for identity, and
-that the library provides a superset of the required abi.
-
-Upstream reponse to this problem was:
-
-GLib added a new marshaller in its public API
-And the `abicheck.sh`in GTK+ 2.24 hasn't been updated because GTK+ 2.24 is in deep
-maintenance mode and very few people test it against newer versions of GLib
