However, in the mean time, we are a bit screwed, and libglib2 has continued to fail building consistently in our autobuilders since then. Since your solution Fabrice is simple enough and straightforward, I decided to apply it nevertheless. I just made sure setting the STATIC property is done in both the per-package cross-compilation.conf and the global cross-compilation.conf. It would however be nice to keep working on the issue with upstream, so that we get a proper solution at some point in the future.
