Lets be really clear about this, glib 2.32.1 will build fine but crash
at runtime due to divide by zero errors.

I'm not taking any glib patches until we have this working on the core
architectures we support.

Please can people not send upgrades which knowingly break things. I'm
fine having a fairly aggressive set of updates but anything with serious
breakage like this will get reverted and cause me to consider patches
from those person long and hard with a lot of testing before merging in
future.

Cheers,

Richard
