Re: CVS commit: pkgsrc/devel/glib2

[Jörn Clausen <joernc%googlemail.com@localhost>]

See pkg/46478 and a bunch of complaints by me on this list.
devel/libelf is simply not an option on Solaris.

I didn't have a chance to compile glib2 recently, but I was pretty
sure that simply removing the dependency on devel/libelf was not
enough. I have high hopes that this change fixes glib2 for me.
