Hi,

Take a look at /usr/lib/gcc-lib/<whatever>/include/objc/objc.h.
You will find:
--------------------
/*
** ObjC uses this typedef for untyped instances.
*/
typedef struct objc_object {
  struct objc_class*  class_pointer;
} *id;

/*
** Definition of method type.  When retrieving the implementation of a
** method, this is type of the pointer returned
*/
typedef id (*IMP)(id, SEL, ...);
--------------------

This clashes with glib.h, which has "id" as a variable in a prototype.
I opted for a minimalistic approach as I created the patch I sent to the
gnome-mailinglist, but Raja R Harinath's patch made it into glib.

So, try again, this should be already fixed in CVS tree.
