[INFO] gobject-introspection-0.6.5: gmake[2]: ***  Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped)

and

/usr/include/machine/endian.h:107: syntax error, unexpected '{' in '   return (__extension__ ({ register __uint32_t __X = (_x); __asm ("bswap   %0" : "+r" (__X)); __X; }));' at '{' 

and

hanging "glib-2.0", hanging g-ir-scanner, etc. 


Removing GAMIN allows gobject-introspection to build. 

This problem has been bothering me for some time and I filed a bug but my system was blamed and "tinderbox works for me" stuff. 

Lots of people cant built gobject-introspection its easy to see on google.
 
Anyway, gamin is causing this and things like g-ir-scanner to fail on a number of systems and removing gamin allowed things to start working again.

Hi list 

This one has been annoing me for a while. I have not been able to   
google a solution, but it seems several people are having this   
problem, so I would like to share my findings. 

Both on FreeBSD 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0 I have experienced problems making   
devel/gobject-introspection. It simply freezes after outputting: 
--- 
libtool: link: (cd ".libs" && rm -f   
"libgirepository-everything-1.0.so" && ln -s   
"libgirepository-everything-1.0.so.1"   
"libgirepository-everything-1.0.so") 
libtool: link: (cd ".libs" && rm -f   
"libgirepository-everything-1.0.so" && ln -s

libtool: link: ( cd ".libs" && rm -f

--- 

Finaly I setup a cloned system in a Sun Virtual Box and made a script   
which removes my 250 ports one by one while trying to portupgrade   
devel/gobject-introspection. A separate script killed the process   
named "[GLib-2.0]" (which seems to be the process hanging the make) a   
couple of seconds after it was found. 
The script was run on: 
bsd# uname -a 
FreeBSD bsd.xxxxxxx 8.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 #0: Tue Jan   
5 16:02:27 UTC 2010       
r... at i386-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386 

My findings is that if devel/gamin is installed, a make of   
devel/gobject-introspection will hang. If I deinstall devel/gamin   
first, I'm able to make devel/gobject-introspection without any   
problems. But as soon as I install devel/gamin again a make in   
devel/gobject-introspection will hang. 

I hope this will help others having this problem. 
Please let me know if anyone is interested in looking into fixing the   
problem and I can provide more info. (I've been using FreeBSD for   
several years but are not familiar with debugging or bug-reporting :-)). 

Regards
