I just pulled down HEAD and get a coredump on HP-UX 11.x and funky
bahaviour on AIX. The following is from HP-UX 11i with the HP C
compiler:
  gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/opt/build/glib-2.4.0/gobject'
  echo "#ifndef __G_MARSHAL_H__" > xgen-gmh \
  && echo "#define __G_MARSHAL_H__" >> xgen-gmh \
  && ./glib-genmarshal --nostdinc --prefix=g_cclosure_marshal
  ./gmarshal.list --header >> xgen-gmh \
  && echo "#endif /* __G_MARSHAL_H__ */" >> xgen-gmh \
  && (cmp -s xgen-gmh gmarshal.h 2>/dev/null || cp xgen-gmh gmarshal.h) \
  && rm -f xgen-gmh xgen-gmh~ \
  && echo timestamp > stamp-gmarshal.h
  ./glib-genmarshal --nostdinc --prefix=g_cclosure_marshal
  ./gmarshal.list --body >> xgen-gmc \
  && cp xgen-gmc gmarshal.c \
  && rm -f xgen-gmc xgen-gmc~
  /bin/sh: 29114 Memory fault(coredump)

Should the above bug report be reopened or should I create a new one?

In gobject/glib-genmarshal.c:
      /* cfile marhsal header */ 
      g_fprintf (fout, "void\n");
      ind = g_fprintf (fout, "%s_%s (", marshaller_prefix, signame);
g_fprintf is returning -1.
