I said to use GLIB_CFLAGS with '-I', not LDFLAGS with '-L'.
Totally different things. You stated that the script already had
GLIB_CFALGS in it.

I have built and used fontforge on multilib many times with no
problems at all. Something in your system is screwy.

Anyway I've spent enough time on this.
