Comment (by neverpanic):

 Replying to [comment:9 reneeotten]:
 > It should be using the {{{gobject-intospection-bootstrap}}} port to
 build {{{glib2}}} but perhaps something from the old {{{gobject-
 introspection}}} port is picked up. Could you try to deactivate that port
 and try again?

 I think you need the deactivate hack regardless, since things break now
 without it:
