Thanks for the bug report and patch! I did a quick annotate on git upstream and saw: https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/?id=b9f2ea423526735f7fe7371fb1339eae91a618c2 Let's backport that instead?

That algorithm of looking for the proper dir with libraries is in my opinion too brittle, and after all when building the package we know where all those files will go.
We actually need https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789723 too.
Not going to go through the hoops to get a pm_ack for this, it should be fixed in the current build, please reopen/comment/send smoke signal it still doesn't work or there are any other issues. Thanks!
Note the same issue appeared in bug 1485853 on the Fedora side.
