Well, in oe-core it came from:
$ git bisect good
31180a56d1b6981fa9d5588ad3538f34e339e0fe is the first bad commit
commit 31180a56d1b6981fa9d5588ad3538f34e339e0fe

glib-2.0: upgrade to 2.24.1
(borrow from OE 2.24.0, with study about reason for detail changes)
[Patches-Poky]
KEEP _configure-libtool.patch_: fix cross-build env
REMOVE _glibconfig-sysdefs.h_: introduced in glib-1.2.10,
which is actually
not valid today
KEEP _glib-gettexize-dir.patch_: another quite old patch
added before 2.10.3
add history info, and
mark for upstream
[Patches-OE]
NOTAKE _gio.patch_: a private extension for a window
matching library (wncksync)
NOTAKE _gvavriant.patch_: in 2.24.1 now
NOTAKE _gasync.patch_: in 2.24.1 now
TAKE _60_wait-longer-for-threads-to-die.patch: said to fix
anonying warning
TAKE _gatomic-proper-get-cast.patch_: fix error about type
casting. Instead of
using OE's patch, I found a better one from latest repo
NOTAKE _g_once_init_enter.patch_: in OE since 2.22.1, not
quite sure of its purpose,
also it's not in upstream yet
[Recipe]
- fix metadata
- keep glib-2.inc which is for python optimization
- remove PRIORITY since 'optional' is the default
- no need to specially install glibconfig.h in ad hoc path,
which is only relied
by 'obexpush' which poky doesn't have and can be fixed in
'obexpush' itself as
what OE does
- no need to manually create glib2.0/glib, which is handled by
current code
- remove 'acpaths' which only applies to versions before 2.12.4
- below lines are not taken from OE
* glib-mkenums tweaks, which exists in OE for a long time
but never in poky.
since there's no way to find out original commit, keep
poky's style instead.
* host libtool check. not sure about its purpose, and it's
also in OE for quite
long time

I don't have an oe-classic tree to hand but some casual digging
doesn't reveal any zip dependencies. There's no good reason for that
dependency that I'm aware of (grep certainly doesn't show anything
relevant), so I say kill it.
