Bug#707733: pygobject: FTBFS on kfreebsd

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort <pochu@debian.org>]

Package: pygobject
Version: 3.8.1-2
Severity: serious

(CCing BSD porters, help wanted here)

pygobject currently fails to build on kfreebsd, see [1]

I've tried to debug this on falla. I can reproduce the hang somewhat reliably
by running:

dpkg-buildpackage

And if it doesn't hang or if you want to hang it again:

while true; do xvfb-run dh_auto_test --builddirectory=build-2.7; done

The hanging test is in test_overrides_gtk.py, but running with
TEST_FILES=test_overrides_gtk.py doesn't reproduce the hang so reliably here.

I've run gdb on the hanging python process and I get:

(gdb) thread apply all bt

Thread 1 (process 75189):

(gdb)

Note that this is with libc0.1-dbg and libglib2.0-0-dbg installed.

After this I'm lost. Any help is welcome. Otherwise I'll just have to stop
running the whole test suite on kfreebsd, but I'd be sad to do that.

Thanks,
Emilio
