[Buildroot] Buildroot fails to build when selecting build packages

[Arnout Vandecappelle <arnout@mind.be>]

 Hoi Nigel,

 I ignored the original error because I got distracted by the fenv issue :-)

 Still works for me :-)

 The dbus dependency of libglib2 is only there for the tests.  Since you
don't have dbus selected, the configure script should detect that and
disable the gio tests...

 Can you post the output/build/libglib2-2.30.2/config.log file?  It
should report in the beginning that the host directory is in the front
of the path, and near the end you should get this:

configure:28819: checking for DBUS1
configure:28826: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "dbus-1 >= 1.2.14"
Package dbus-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `dbus-1.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'dbus-1' found
configure:28829: $? = 1
configure:28842: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "dbus-1 >= 1.2.14"
Package dbus-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `dbus-1.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'dbus-1' found
configure:28845: $? = 1
configure:28858: result: no
No package 'dbus-1' found


 Hang on...  You don't have DBUS1_CFLAGS or DBUS1_LIBS set in your
environment, do you?  In that case, the configure script would enable
the gio tests unconditionally...


 Regards,
 Arnout
