It's conditional on --disable-deprecated-glib.

The problem is the "currently" deprecated functions are determined by
the user's installed library.  This symbol just isn't as useful as it
could be.  Wouldn't it be nice if there were G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_2_6
and such?  *sigh*

Maybe we could unconditionally disable deprecated functions for
certain older library versions.  We just can't assume that newer
versions won't deprecate stuff we want really use and not error on.
