I just did a fresh install of build 42, and glibconfig.h
unconditionally defines G_GNUC_INTERNAL to
__hidden:

#define G_GNUC_INTERNAL __hidden

Apparently, nothing that links to glib can be built 
using GCC, which makes life extremely problematic.

In addition, glib/gmessages.h makes use of this
#define without including glibconfig.h.  So open source
packages which fail to include <glibconfig.h> first
fail to compile (the one I was trying simply did an
include of glib-object.h).

This all came from an attempt to build inkscape,
which IMHO should be shipped wherever the
GIMP is shipped.  I had it working on build 40
by linking against blastwave packages, but the
current JDS components don't seem very
cooperative.
