compilation of devel/gobject-instrospection fails, glib/gmacros.h missing

["Andrei M." <lingvofactory%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hello,

Yesterday I've decided to try pkgsrc/stable on Linux 64 bit (Ubuntu
16.04, gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5)).

After bootstrap I went on to install cad/kicad. Pkgsrc started
installing all possible dependencies and after 10 hours of compiling
it stopped at devel/gobject-introspection missing glib/gmacros.h. I
see that someone has already encountered this problem on MacOS:

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2015/05/21/msg021577.html

What workaround can be in my case, bearing in mind that I wasn't
installing gobject-introspection on its own, but it came to me as a
dependency to kicad (or to a kicad's dependency).

Here's the output:
