glib: Make tests work

[dmik]

Currently, modular tests in glib don't work (and don't fully build). As this breaks the overall build process, the current workaround is to completely disable tests with the --disable-modular-tests configure option for now. This ticket is to make them function instead.

In particular (as mentioned in #14), when making tests for the gio module, we get the following crash in the helper utility:

  GEN      test_resources.c
GLib (gthread-posix.c): Unexpected error from C library during 'pthread_rwlock_init': Invalid argument.  Aborting.

This is because pthread_rwlock_init is not supported by our pthread implementation. Perhaps, we should address that by making these APIs work in pthread or simply disable this particular test.

see also http://trac.netlabs.org/ports/changeset/982. In gettext we also had to disable pthread RWLOCK

I doubt this is still needed, as pthreads_rwlock_init is now available. And in gettext it's enabled as well now.

this is all for a really outdated glib2 and not relevant anymore.
