 The whole "introspection" option business was an attempt to cope with
 the problems first raised in "pkg/51266", later reclassified as
 "toolchain/51266".
 
 Following this commit:
 
   http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2017/07/19/msg086477.html
 
 the problems with "gobject-introspection" segfaulting seem to have been
 solved.  This change and one related change to fix ld.elf_so tests on
 sparc are pending pull-up to netbsd-8.
 
 I hope others beside myself have been testing this.  Once the pull-ups
 are done, toolchain/51266 can be closed and this PR will be obsolete
 and should be closed as well.
