The glib documentation claims that this works (and it does for me).

This part of the analysis is true.

The problem is (for me) that, while QOF_LIB_DIR is defined properly
(all Makefiles contain "QOF_LIB_DIR = /home/wiz/gctest//lib"),
it is not passed to the compiler. The attached diff fixes the problem
for me.
