This appears to be libtool not cooperating with the AIX linker. Basically,
the libraries get linked with -berok. This in itself is not bad, except that
(for instance) libgtk.a is linked without a reference to libgdk.a. At runtime,
this results in references to gdk functions not being correctly resolved.
So when the gtk_init_check() routine calls gdk_init_check(), it branches
off to never-never land.
To fix:
1) Re-build glib, gmodule and gthreads libraries *without* -berok (this will
require some libtool hackery). You'll have to specify additional -L and -l
flags to get gmodule and gthreads to rebuild.
2) Repeat for the gdk libraries
3) Repeat for the gtk libraries.
Hope this helps. I need to write all this up and get it folded back into
the base libtool/gtk distributions.. ;(
