Or rewrite the offending addition of g_realloc_n to use something like
g_renew that IS available in 2.22 (this is not the first time the issue

Which platform?  CentOS 6 is at glib 2.28; we also require 2.30 for
building on mingw.  I'm not seeing an easy document that says which
distros we still actively support, and which culprit distro has the
oldest glib.
