error building git head GTK on OS X ... IM symbols missing etc.

[Paul Davis <paul linuxaudiosystems com>]

just tried a jhbuild of gtk on OS X (tiger). things went well until it
got to the link stage in the input methods code. i got a large number
of messages of this form, one for each (every?) IM module:


Cannot load module
/Users/paul/gtk/source/gtk+/modules/input/im-am-et.la:
dlopen(/Users/paul/gtk/source/gtk+/modules/input/.libs/im-am-et.so,
10): Symbol not found: _res_9_init
  Referenced from: /Users/paul/gtk/inst/lib/libgio-2.0.0.dylib
  Expected in: flat namespace

does anybody have any clues what this might be? the missing symbol is
always _res_9_init

thx,
