System: NetBSD kirk 2.0 NetBSD 2.0 (KIRK) #2: Tue Jan 11 20:49:13 CET 2005 gert@kirk:/home/sparc64/obj/home/src-2.0/sys/arch/sparc64/compile/KIRK sparc64

>Description:
	when running the tests after compiling pkgsrc/devel/glib2
        (PKGSRC_RUN_TEST?=yes in /etc/mk.conf) testing fails one test
        with:

/usr/pkg/bin/gmake  check-TESTS
gmake[4]: Entering directory `/home/obj/pkg/devel/glib2/work/glib-2.6.1/tests'

** ERROR **: file atomic-test.c: line 53 (main): assertion failed: (g_atomic_pointer_compare_and_exchange (&atomic_pointer, NULL, biggest_pointer))
aborting...
[1]   Abort trap (core dumped) srcdir=. LIBCHAR...
FAIL: atomic-test

	all other tests are successful.

	The resulting glib2 seems to work (force-installed with 
	"PKGSRC_RUN_TEST?=no"), at least good enough so that "irssi"
	works - but still this test program core dump smells like 
	"deseaster waiting to happen" and the root cause should be 
	fixed.

>How-To-Repeat:
	just run "make" in pkgsrc/devel/glib2 on NetBSD/sparc64
>Fix:
	I don't really understand the code in question, but I assume that
	it might be related to 64/32 bit integer size mixups.
